What was Washington's main reason for making the statement in the excerpt

History
1 answer:
sergey [27]3 years ago
7 0

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Your question is incomplete. You did not provide the excerpt or any specific reference for the context, the speech, the time, the article, or the book.

However, trying to help you, we did some research and found the following speech. If that is the case, we can comment on the following.

<em>"The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty." </em>(George Washington).

So Washington's main reason for making the statement was that he was worried that the leaders of political parties would act out of self-interest, dividing the nation into factions.

On his final days as United States President, George Washington publicly expressed concern on the issue of political parties. He was against political parties because it could form factions that defended their own particular interests and agendas, and could create an unnecessary division between the citizens of the country.

One of the earliest “hot spots” in the Cold War was in the European city of what
Damm [24]

Answer:

One of the earliest “hot spots” in the Cold War was in the European city of Berlin, Germany. This was due to the Berlin blockade by the Soviet Union in 1948.

Explanation:

The Berlin blockade went from June 23, 1948 to May 12, 1949, during which the western sectors of Berlin were supplied from the air by the Berlin Airlift.

On June 20, 1948, the Western Allies - after unsuccessful consultations with the Soviet Union - carried out a monetary reform in the western occupation zones of Germany (which, according to the original plans, was not to apply to Berlin due to its quadruple status). On 23 June, monetary reform was also carried out in the Soviet occupation zone, and the new eastern mark was to apply to the western sectors of Berlin as well: to achieve the financial and economic tying of the western sectors to the Soviet zone. The Western Allies therefore introduced the Western Mark in their Berlin sectors as well.

On the night of June 23 to 24, the Soviet command in Berlin responded by cutting off electricity supplies to the western sectors and, a few hours later, closing all land and water access roads.  Initially, the Allies were not even united in their future policy towards Berlin. Eventually, the American military governor of the city, Lucius D. Clay, gave the order to establish an air bridge (air corridors were not blocked).  

Almost a year later, when it was clear that the blockade would not achieve its original purpose of annexing the Western sector to Eastern Germany, the transit connection to Berlin was reopened on May 12, 1949, and traffic began to move back to the roads. The air bridge was officially closed on September 30 of the same year.

What was the main reason behind the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857?
melamori03 [73]
The main reason behind the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857 is actually multifaceted. The direct cause was a change in the use of the weapons Britain provided to Indian sepoys, basically soldiers fighting for the British. The British began to implement a new kind of grease for their guns that was cheaper than the previous grease. However, this grease was a combination of pig fat and cow fat. In order to open these packets of grease, one had to use their teeth. Remember that India's major religions at the time were Hindu and Islam. The Hindu sepoys were appalled by the notion that they would use the sacred cow, and the Muslim sepoys refused to bite open the packets because pork is taboo to them. This whole incident combined with general resentment towards British rule of India, and the fighting began.
