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.

Soviet society had stopped growing as a result of totalitarian policies banning political dissent
LiRa [457]
The statement is true. The ban of totalitarian policies on political dissent was one of the major problems with the Soviet Union, along with the inefficient central planning system, due to which the expenditures on the army increased way too much and competition of the arms, with the US became very costly. During the time, the Jewish people were not allowed to leave and inhabit their homeland, Israel.
