Question

How did George Washington's political beliefs affect his term as president?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

His passion for states' rights resulted in constrained presidential power.

Explanation:

It is on record that George Washington disliked partisanship and political parties.

It is also on record that he was one of those presidents who never saw the presidency as an opportunity to enrich himself, and when issues relating to corruption arose, he was impartial even when his friends were involved.  

Regardless of his failings in the area of slavery, this disposition created for him, a brand as one of the US presidents in history to show the most restraint, judiciousness, and nonpartisan position.

He is to date seen as a great president who could have taken advantage of his position to become even more powerful but put all of that aside for the common good.
