I was hoping that some options would be given to choose the right answer. As there are no options given in the question, so this question has to be answered by research or knowledge. I hope the answer comes to your help. Oversight and public education are examples of non legislative functions of the Congress.
I hope this helps. George Washinton had to develop how to start with a knew country and not have the same difficulties that King Gorge the third had. They wanted to make sure that nobody had to much power. They also had to come up with the constitution and the Bill of Rights. John Adams in the other hand was the first Federalist ever elected for president. Thomas Jefferson sponsored the Lewis and Clark exposition to explore the Western territory. James Madison had a big problem when there was a war against Britain in 1813, trying to stop the trade. I hope this helped you.
For the answer to the question above, I believe that the

Fostering a democratic and free society.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Civic Virtue is a standard or morality behavior that related to the citizen's collaboration in society. George Washington had become a well-known person in U.S. history. Since he was the 1st president of America and one of the members in founding fathers of the U.S.
He might have struggled in running the nation as the president because the following presidents will consider him as a role model. But his character of civic virtue formed a strong constitutional nation. His civic nature resulted in building a democratic and free society.
Explanation:
Opium was first introduced to China by Turkish and Arab traders in the late 6th or early 7th century CE. Taken orally to relieve tension and pain, the drug was used in limited quantities until the 17th century. At that point, the practice of smoking tobacco spread from North America to China, and opium-smoking soon became popular throughout the country. Opium addiction increased, and opium importations grew rapidly during the first century of the Qing dynasty (1644–1911/12). By 1729 it had become such a problem that the Yongzheng emperor (ruled 1722–35) prohibited the sale and smoking of opium. That failed to hamper the trade, and in 1796 the Jiaqing emperor outlawed opium importation and cultivation. Despite such decrees, however, the opium trade continued to flourish.
Early in the 18th century, the Portuguese found that they could import opium from India and sell it in China at a considerable profit. By 1773 the British had discovered the trade, and that year they became the leading suppliers of the Chinese market. The British East India Company established a monopoly on opium cultivation in the Indian province of Bengal, where they developed a method of growing opium poppies cheaply and abundantly. Other Western countries also joined in the trade, including the United States, which dealt in Turkish as well as Indian opium.
Britain and other European countries undertook the opium trade because of their chronic trade imbalance with China. There was tremendous demand in Europe for Chinese tea, silks, and porcelain pottery, but there was correspondingly little demand in China for Europe’s manufactured goods and other trade items. Consequently, Europeans had to pay for Chinese products with gold or silver. The opium trade, which created a steady demand among Chinese addicts for opium imported by the West, solved this chronic trade imbalance.
