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

1 answer:

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.

aliina [53]

The first two statementz are the true ones because in the revolution, the french saw america as a weeb country. but once they saw how well america was doing against Britain, they chose to help america by giving aid and weapons.

and without the help of the French, america really would have lost the war because they were losing soldiers fast due to lack of resoures and disease lol.

plus the third one is wrong because the question os asking for US & France not France & Britain smh :)
