Question 20

Compare Richard Nixon as a foreign policy president and as a domestic policy president.In what area was he more effective,and why?

Accepted Answer

Richard Nixon was a complex and controversial figure as both a foreign policy and domestic policy president. In terms of foreign policy, Nixon is often remembered for his groundbreaking diplomatic efforts, particularly in opening up relations with China and his policy of détente with the Soviet Union. These efforts helped to ease tensions in the Cold War and set the stage for future diplomatic relations.

On the other hand, Nixon's domestic policies were marked by a focus on law and order, welfare reform, and environmental protection. He also implemented the New Federalism, which sought to shift power from the federal government to the states.

In terms of effectiveness, Nixon was arguably more successful in foreign policy. His efforts in China and the Soviet Union were historic and had long-lasting effects on global diplomacy. However, his domestic policies were marred by controversy, particularly his involvement in the Watergate scandal and subsequent resignation.

Overall, while Nixon made significant strides in both foreign and domestic policy, his foreign policy efforts were more impactful and enduring. Despite his domestic policy initiatives, it is his role as a foreign policy president that ultimately defines his legacy.
