Question 9 • United States History

Which names two pieces of domestic legislation passed during the Nixon administration?

Answer
A
the Water Quality Act and the SALT I agreement
B
the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act
C
the Endangered Species Act and the CREEP Act
D
the SALT I agreement and the Watergate Act

Explanation

The Clean Air Act amendments were passed in 1970, and the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973, both during Richard Nixon’s presidency. SALT I was an international arms-control agreement, not domestic legislation, and CREEP was a political campaign organization rather than an act of Congress. Therefore, the Clean Air Act and the Endangered Species Act are the two domestic laws named in choice B.
