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.

puteri [66]

Answer:

The Constitution of the State of South Carolina is the governing document of the U.S. state of South Carolina. It describes the structure and function of the state's government.

Explanation:

The first governmental framework for what is now the State of South Carolina was the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina, written in 1669 by the lead colonial proprietor Anthony Ashley Cooper, 1st Earl of Shaftesbury and his secretary John Locke. Influenced by philosophers such as James Harrington, the two men wrote a document which espoused religious toleration (except for Catholics) and establishing a system of government based on ownership of land.

aliya0001 [1]

The answer would be Economic Growth.


The GATT (now WTO, World Trade Organization) was a trade agreement between 23 founding member nations to promote international trade and cooperation. This was achieved by eliminating trade barriers between the member nations such as tariffs/taxes or quotas


It is worth noting that the GATT only operated with tangible goods, where the WTO today operates with goods and services.


(The GATT was founded in 1947 and lasted until 1994 when the WTO was formed.)

Explain the effect of conservatism in 1848.
Digiron [165]
Hated revolutions was an effect of conservatism. Also, many people were unwilling to work or accept demands from people who either wanted individual rights or represented the government. The tension and animosity was very high in the country during this time, so in order to maintain peace, "peace meetings" were established. These meeting are now known as the Concert of Europe.
