George Washington did not want to accept the presidency that the people wanted to give him for fear of becoming a tyrant himself, just like King George II of England, from whom they just declared themselves independent from. When he became president, he made an example by only taking 2 terms and then refusing to continue being president. It wasn't until much later that a law was introduced to prevent any single president from serving more than 2 terms.

7. What decisions did Kerensky make, and<br> what were his reasons for making them?
il63 [147K]

Kerensky ensured that Russia stayed in the world war I that was detested and despised by the whole country. people felt insecure due to the war devastation. Secondly, he decided not to offer any lands to peasants of Russia which defamed him.

Explanation:

His rise to power as a prime minister was swift but he had committed two flaws. firstly, he made Russia to enter the world war which was despised and not liked by the whole country. people really wanted to stay away from war and conflicts because the war had ruined many lives ion Russia. Secondly, he did not get the support from the peasants as he did not offer any lands to them in his regime. But Lenin had exactly done this and gained the support of the peasants.

Bolshevik party was headed by Lenin. Immediately , in order to retain his power, Kerensky ordered for the constituent assembly <em>elections</em>, the elections were held and the people relied much on Lenin to end internal chaos in the country and voted for him. Lenin ordered Coup d etat which was a statutory process to overthrow the provincial government and Lenin gained his place in the Russian Politics.
