Read the essay, “Above the Law” from UVA’s Miller Center.
What do you think of the idea that Nixon’s downfall was due to the fact that he imitated his enemies and put himself above the law?
"His conviction that he was fighting evil became his excuse for doing evil. His attempts to break an imaginary conspiracy ultimately led him to launch the real conspiracy that broke him."
After reading the essay, reflect on the first statement and quote from the essay above. Respond using details from the essay that demonstrate your support either for or against Nixon creating his own downfall through scandal.
A good essay will start with a comment "I believe..." and will use ideas and examples presented in the essay. A good essay could probably be written between 400-500 words.
