Answer 1

Answer: Warren Burger

Answer 2

Answer: Environmental issues came to concern as many as 50 percent of Americans by 1970. They began to worry about pollutants, oil spills, and nuclear accidents. During Nixon's administration, Congress passed the Clean Air Act, Water Quality improvement Act, the Resource Recovery Act, and created the Environmental Protection Agency.

Answer 3

Answer: Indians would have grown in number and militancy. There would have been more attempts to organize to preserve tribal traditions. A movement to reestablish Indian pride would have resulted in greater popularity among the general American population for Indian art and traditions. Some Indian groups and leaders, especially those in the American Indian Movement, would have demanded more consideration from the federal government with some success, but not without much confrontation and some violence. More emphasis would have been placed on higher education and business entrepreneurship.

Answer 4

Answer: Chavez was particularly interested in obtaining better working conditions and wages for Mexican American farm laborers through unionization and political activities. He skillfully organized farm laborers and consumer boycotts against companies who refused to negotiate with the union. In 1975, as a result of his efforts, the California legislature required growers to bargain collectively with the workers' elected representatives.
