What was an effect of the teapot some scandal?

The Teapot Dome scandal, which involved the secret leasing of Navy petroleum reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming, to private oil companies without competitive bidding, resulted in a significant loss of public trust in the government. It led to increased scrutiny and regulation of federal oil reserves and set a precedent for ethical standards in government dealings. The scandal ultimately contributed to the downfall of President Warren G. Harding's administration and highlighted the need for greater transparency and accountability in politics.
