What did George Washington believe he would be like if he remained president any longer?

History
1 answer:
Elza [17]3 years ago
6 0

The Founding Fathers, among them, George Washington, were profoundly influenced by the historical example set by the Roman Republic: they were absolutely weary of any man, though popular, competent, charismatic might be, feeling tempted to overstretch the boundaries of the power bestowed upon him by the will of the people, i.e., they were aware that a president might well feel tempted to seize absolute power and become either a dictator or a monarch. Thus, George Washington felt that staying in office for too long would cloud his judgment as appointed government official and might feel tempted to abuse his power, so he chose to step down from a third term as president to both avoid criticism pointing to his intentions to institute a dictatorship or monarchy and the potentiality of making mistakes that might harm the American Republic.

How did South Carolina's royal government compare to the other colonies?
gregori [183]

By comparing South Carolina's royal government to the other colonies, it was established that "Unlike most colonies, South Carolina had a bicameral legislature."

  • This is evident in the fact that South Carolina's royal government has two houses.

  • There are His Majesty's Council and the House of Commons.

  • His Majesty's Council has twelve members all selected by the British King.

  • The House of Commons has members elected by the colonists members.

  • To be eligible to vote and be voted for in South Carolina during this period requires certain traits to be met, including being a white male, and having some financial worth defined by the government law at the time.

Hence, in this case, the correct answer is option A. "Unlike most colonies, South Carolina had a bicameral legislature.
