Question

What did the Senate investigation during the Watergate scandal lead to?

arrest of the Watergate burglars
resignation of the attorney general
confessions of the Watergate burglars
constitutional crisis over the White House tapes

Answer 1

The Senate investigation during the Watergate scandal primarily led to a **constitutional crisis over the White House tapes**. While the investigation also addressed the arrests and activities of the Watergate burglars and ultimately contributed to the resignation of President Richard Nixon, the discovery and subsequent legal battles over the tapes were central to the crisis and the unraveling of Nixon's presidency. These tapes included recordings of conversations that revealed Nixon's involvement in the cover-up of the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters.
