Explanation:

1- United States v. Nixon was a famous lawsuit filed in the United States Supreme Court between the United States and then-reelected US President Richard Nixon in 1974 who, charged with involvement in a criminal action against the opposition party's office during the presidential campaign of 1972, argued in court that he was not obliged to present evidence that would incriminate him, by virtue of the prerogative of his position. Evidence of his involvement in the case led to the opening of a new impeachment case against the president, who had filed applications since 1971.

The outcome of the trial was unanimous in favor of the United States (8-0) and considered crucial to the final stages of the investigation of the political scandal known as the Watergate Scandal and the consequent impeachment decision. It is also considered as a decisive precedent for the imposition of limits on the power of the US president thereafter.

The Supreme Court's final judgment came on July 24, 1974, after little more than two weeks of arguments. On August 9, sixteen days later, Nixon would step down as President of the United States.

2- The commitment of ethics in the public sphere became important in the seventies in the United States in the wake of the Watergate Scandal that ended with the resignation of President Richard Nixon.  This fact demonstrated to the public that some governors and officials  practiced immoral or unethical behavior. It was then when  Congress created mechanisms for the promotion of ethics, such as the Office of Government Ethics and the Ethics in Government Act, both created in 1978.

3- In 1977, Carter convinced the Democrats in Congress to create the United States Department of Energy with the goal of promoting energy savings. Carter established price controls on oil and natural gas and installed solar panels to heat hot water in the White House, and set up a wood stove in his home. He ordered the General Services Administration to cut the hot water in some federal facilities, and requested that the Christmas public ornaments remain without lights in the Christmases of 1979 and 1980.  

In response to the energy crisis and growing concerns about air pollution, Carter also signed the National Energy Law and the Public Services Regulation Policy Law. The purpose of these laws was to stimulate energy conservation and the development of national energy resources, including renewables, such as solar and wind energy.

However, during the crisis of 1979, Carter reinstated some price controls on gasoline, which again caused queues at gas stations. During his "discomfort" speech, he announced a gradual liberalization of price controls, along with the imposition of a "Exceptional Benefits Tax" to finance energy efficiency initiatives.

4- On July 5, 2000, President Bill Clinton announced his invitation to Ehud Barak and Yasir Arafat to arrive at Camp David to resume negotiations on the Middle East peace process.

5- The objectives of the Clinton when bombing Yugoslavia were:

-Stop all military action and the immediate end of violence and repression.

-Immediately stop mass deportations of Kosovo Albanians.

-Withdrawal of Kosovo from all Yugoslav regular, paramilitary and police forces.

-The unconditional return and safe conditions of all refugees.
