You have not described the alternatives, but as an economist I can help you!

The Federal Reserve is the body that decides the direction of US monetary policy. The economic decisions of the agency can be expansive, when they stimulate the economy, or restrictive, when they slow economic growth.

The two main tools the Federal Reserve has in conducting monetary policy are the<u> interest rate</u> and the <u>open market</u>.

We say that monetary policy is restrictive when the Federal Reserve increases the interest rate or sells government bonds (by decreasing the amount of money in circulation). These measures are taken to slow down the economy and prevent the inflationary process.

The opposite occurs when the Federal Reserve buys securities and / or lowers the interest rate, measures that occur to stimulate the economy when economic activity is stagnant.

The Federal Reserve increases the discount rate, which causes interest rates to rise and people to save rather than to spend.

Answer:

a

Explanation:

while we were under British rule, we felt that the king held too much power. the founding fathers worked really hard to create a system that would prevent one person from having too much power. although at the time there were not any term limits for president, Washington was very wary and aware that a third term could (unintentionally) give him too much power. also, he was growing old and felt that if he died while still in office, it would give Americans the impression that being president was a lifetime thing (which would also lead to one man holding a lot of power)
