Answer 1

Both believed that France should settle its internal problems without outside intervention.

Explanation: Jefferson sympathized with the Revolution as a response to aristocratic privilege, while Washington was alarmed by its violence — but Washington insisted the United States remain neutral (Neutrality Proclamation, 1793) and both men opposed foreign entanglements or outside powers deciding France’s fate.
