Which sentence from Richard Nixon's acceptance speech reflects an appeal to the "silent majority"?

"America is in trouble today not because her people have failed but because her leaders have failed. And what America needs are leaders to match the greatness of her people. And this great group of Americans, the forgotten Americans, and others know that the great question Americans must answer by their votes in November is this: whether we shall continue for four more years the policies of the last five years.

And this is their answer and this is my answer to that question. When the strongest nation in the world can be tied down for four years in a war in Vietnam with no end in sight; when the richest nation in the world can't manage its own economy; when the nation with the greatest tradition of the rule of law is plagued by unprecedented lawlessness; when a nation that has been known for a century for equality of opportunity is torn by unprecedented racial violence; and when the President of the United States cannot travel abroad or to any major city at home without fear of a hostile demonstration—then it's time for new leadership for the United States of America."

"America is in trouble today not because her people have failed but because her leaders have failed.

When the strongest nation in the world can be tied down for four years in a war in Vietnam with no end in sight;

when the nation with the greatest tradition of the rule of law is plagued by unprecedented lawlessness;

and when the President of the United States cannot travel abroad or to any major city at home without fear of a hostile demonstration

The phrase is used to mean that the strongest and biggest country in the world has become too weak that things no longer happen like it should.

The president is now referring that as strong as the country is, the inability to follow the rule of law has put the nation in a state of lawlessness.
