Question

Why did George Washington give the advice quoted in the excerpt?

Answer 1

Hello. You did not show the passage to which this question refers, but George Washington advised the next rulers to prevent the creation of political factions within the parties, to reduce tensions between the south and the north of the country and not to get involved in European conflicts.

Answer:

Washington gave this advice because he felt that these elements were growing in the world and that they could bring about the country's ruin.

Explanation:

Washington knew that numerous factions were being established within the parties and that this impeded national growth and political accountability. He also knew that tensions between the south and the north would wreak havoc in the country. For this reason, he advised the next leaders to solve these problems in the name of growth and national peace.

Furthermore, he believed that the country should not meddle in European conflicts, as it did not need to promote economic spending and social suffering on behalf of other nations.
