Answer 2

Answer:

The Correct Answer is C

Explanation:

• George Washington rejected to receive a payroll for being commander in chief because he considered a leader should not benefit from battle. He wanted to assist the nation.
• He also declined to receive a payroll as a President of the United States. He was a gentleman that had fields and property, so he did not require the payment.
