Explanation

The United States faced rising inflation, high crime rates, and gasoline shortages during the 1970s. Government corruption was also a major concern, especially after the Watergate scandal. Low unemployment and steep drops in prices do not describe the decade’s main challenges; inflation meant prices were generally rising.
