<span>Freedom of thought, and a free communication of opinions by speech through the medium of the press, are the safeguards of our Liberties. . . . By the freedom of opinion, cannot be meant the right of thinking merely; for of this right the greatest Tyrant cannot deprive his meanest slave; but, it is freedom in the communication of sentiments [by]speech or through the press. This liberty is animprescriptable [unlimitable] right, independent of any Constitution or social compact; it is ascomplete a right as that which any man has to the enjoyment of his life. These principles are eternal--they are recognized by our Constitution; and that nation is already enslaved that does not acknowledge their truth. . . .If freedom of opinion, in the sense we understand it, is the right of every Citizen, by what mode of reasoning can that right be denied to an assemblage of Citizens? . . . The Society are free to declare that they never were more strongly impressed with . . .the importance of associations . . . than at the present time. The germ of an odious Aristocracy is planted among us--it has taken root. . . . Let us remain firm in attachment to principles. . . . Let us be particularly watchful to preserve inviolate the freedom of opinion, assured that it is the most effectual weapon for the protection for our liberty. :)</span>

And truth be told I’m not positive on the second answer. :(
George Washington set many precedents (examples) while president. Two of the most important ones are:
1) Development of a Presidential cabinet- Washington's idea to have a group of individuals with different areas of expertise to help him make decisions is still used by the federal government. The cabinet plays an essential role in developing policies for the president.
2) Term limit- Washington served only two terms as president. Every single president has followed this example except Franklin D. Roosevelt. After Roosevelt was elected 4 times, the US Congress agreed to pass an amendment to limit the president to two terms (aka 8 years).
The correct answer is B.
The Compromise of 1877 has an informal agreement reached during the due to the intense competition in the presidential elections in 1976. The agreement decided to remove federal troops from the Southern States and this was the formal ending of the Reconstruction era. Moreover, the Republican Hayes was appointed President instead of the Democrat Tilden. All these provisions were part of the deal.
On the other hand, Jim Crow Laws were contemporary to the other options listed, and also a consequence of the situation during and at the end of the Reconstruction era, but they were not directly implemented by the Compromise of 1877. The Jim Crow laws were used to enforce segregation in terms of race in the Southern states, circumventing the non-discrimination provisions of the 14th and 15th amendments of the US Constitution.
