Answer 1

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 while the president may have some degree of executive privilege, that privilege is not absolute and can be overridden in the interest of justice, particularly in the context of a criminal investigation. This decision served as a significant check on presidential power.
