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.

Answer the following questions about internal and external factors that led to change in various states after 1900.
ladessa [460]

a) Identify factors that led to the Russian Revolution (1917).

The October Revolution in Russia in 1917 signified the collapse of Tsarist Russia and the establishment of a regime by the Bolsheviks and the leader of the Communist Party, Lenin. The main reason, among others, was the dissatisfaction of peasants and workers due to large class differences. The dissatisfaction of workers and peasants was preceded by several wars that Russia led and lost all, but the war with Turkey. Peasants barely survived in unreformed economic agricultural conditions. Workers fought for bigger rights in factories, for shortening working hours, but primacy was in waging wars, rather than dealing with economic issues and dissatisfaction of workers and peasants. Also, Emperor Nicholas spent more time dealing with his own family than on state issues. All this led to the general dissatisfaction of the people and the October Revolution.

b) Identify factors that led to the Mexican Revolution (1910–17).

Some of the factors that led to the Mexican Revolution were the dictatorship-like way of ruling that Porfirio Diaz exhibited for over 30 years, the exploitation and poor treatment of laborers, and the large disparity between rich and poor. While there is no definite cause for the Mexican Revolution, there were many factors that led to the decision to rebel against the government.

c) Explain how land-based and maritime empires gave way to new states in the 20th century.

The land-based and maritime empires gave way to new states in the 20th century when the older, land-based empires such as the Ottoman empire, the Russian empire, and the Qing empire collapsed due to a combination of internal and external factors.
