Because it allowed the people to trust their leader if they all supported chritianity, because then they could all relate spiritually. Hope this helped :P
The correct answer is self-government. When George Washington was elected the first president under the Constitution, he had a speech at his first inauguration. On that speech, he talked about what he believed America was about. He expressed his concerns about the model of government that was created on that Constitution. He says that this model could only be successful with<em> self-government</em>.<em> Self-government means the ability to legislate for itself as a nation, the ability to provide peace for it's people, to have a strong defense</em>. Washington expressed that self-government meant above all, all people united as one and governing themselves for themselves as a nation.
Someone who experienced it and was there when it happened
