Answer:

The main reason why the Americans wanted the Panama Canal built was to cut travel time from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans.

Explanation (if you need it) :

The Panama Canal was inaugurated in 1914. Its construction had been started by the French, and when they abandoned the project, the Americans took it in 1903.

The intention of Theodore Roosevelt's government was to shorten travel time and distances between the two coasts of the United States, while creating a fast and accessible connection between both oceans, which would allow America to compete more easily in trade international, also giving a greater capacity to react to the Navy in case of a war.

Until that moment, the sea route that connected both oceans was around the Strait of Magellan, with which the American ships had to surround all South America to get from one ocean to the other.

Which action was not a precedent set by President George Washington? He served only two terms. He lived in the White House. He e
Georgia [21]

George Washington was elected unanimously twice as the first president of America. He helped define the future role and authority of the office. He understood well that it is necessary to revive executive power in the country. He believed that the precedents he had to make was necessary for the republic to function, but did not intend to implement a dictatorship or a monarchy. He appointed the Cabinet, and proposed the main laws to the Congress, with the intention of the Presidency to be powerful. He spent a lot of time doing government jobs, organizing meetings with the public in the afternoon, as well as dinner with invited guests.

He wanted to spend time on his property, especially under the pressure of obligations and merciless journalists, and thus made the president's withdrawal into his homes, under pressure from the public, acceptable. He retired after eight years and thus set the precedent that the president could only serve two mandates. It was later broken by Roosevelt.

The right answer is He lived in the White House.
