The correct response is:
It placed certain limits on claims of executive privilege.
The Supreme Court ruling in United States v. Nixon (1974) established that the president is not above the law and that claims of executive privilege cannot be used to withhold evidence in criminal prosecutions. This helped to check presidential power by ensuring accountability and limiting the scope of executive privilege.
