But freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please. You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, “you are free to compete with all the others,” and still justly believe that you have been completely fair. Why is this a persuasive quote?

President nixon resigned from office in 1974 after he was informed that the senate would impeach him, as allowed in the constitution, for his actions in the watergate scandal. one of the key reasons that nixon’s actions became public was a) the freedom of press guaranteed by the first amendment. b) the right to confront witnesses as guaranteed by the sixth amendment. c) the limitation of judicial powers as defined in article 3 of the constitution. d) the prohibition against illegal search and seizure as guaranteed by the fourth amendment.
