Question

2.)Which is the most likely reason George Washington refused a third term as president?

A.)He felt a third term would give one man too much power.

B.)He didn't think the citizens would support him for a third term.

C.)He did not want to be away from his home for four more years.

D.)She believed he had not met the challenges he should have in two terms.

A?

Answer 1

I believe you are correct. He didn't what to be part of a monarchy and be king and by accepting a third term, people would find it as a lifetime position which he didn't what to carry. I'd choose A.

Answer 2

I would also choose A although he did want to get home.

Answer 3

Yes, A is correct, and Damon is right. He really did want to retire and go home. All his life he was devoted to his family and his plantation and home. That's where he wanted to be. But the record shows that he did not want the presidency to be a life-time job a la a monarchy, so he had more than one motive for refusing a third term.
