C. Presidential powers.

The United States vs. Nixon case was argued two years after the Watergate Scandal (June 1972), in which seven of the President Nixon's closest aides were caught wiretapping phones and stealing documents in 1974.

In the case, President Nixon refused to show the evidence before the Court, claiming his "executive privilege", that is to say, his right as President to withhold information from other government branches to preserve confidential communications within the executive branch or to secure the national interest. This led to a constitutional conflict over presidential powers.

However, the case decided that the executive privilege had limits and it wasn't immune from judicial review, regarding the demands of due process of law. The case ordered the President to deliver tape recordings and documents to the Supreme Court.
