can some1 help asap ion get this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, I'm not about to answer all these questions for you. If you have not read your text materials, you're sunk.
reed why so mean lmao
Certainly! I'll be happy to help you with these questions. Let's go through each question one by one and I'll explain how to find the answer for each.
1. The question asks which precedent George Washington set. To answer this question, you need to know what each of the options means and then determine which one matches a precedent set by George Washington. Here's a brief explanation of each option:
- Constitutional amendment process: This refers to the process of changing or adding amendments to the Constitution. It is not a precedent that George Washington set.
- Formal presidential dinners: This refers to the tradition of hosting formal dinners at the White House for important guests or events. It is a precedent that George Washington set.
- Singing of the national anthem: This refers to the tradition of singing the national anthem at public events. It is not a precedent that George Washington set.
- Use of a presidential cabinet: This refers to the practice of the president appointing a group of advisors known as the cabinet. It is a precedent that George Washington set.
So, the correct answer is "use of a presidential cabinet."
2. The question asks about the meaning of a paraphrased text written by George Washington. To answer this question, you need to understand the meaning behind the paraphrased text. Let's look at each option:
- Precedent of term limits, because he is threatening to resign if members of Congress run for office a third time: This option misinterprets the text. Washington is not threatening to resign, but rather announcing his decision not to run for president again.
- Precedent of term limits, because he is declining consideration for leader of the United States: This option accurately captures the meaning of the text. Washington is setting a precedent by voluntarily stepping down from the presidency after two terms.
- Refusal to be named king, because he is stepping down from leadership of the United States: This option does not accurately represent the meaning of the text. Washington's decision to step down is not about refusing to be named king.
- Sense of the ceremony of monarchy, because he is making a formal address to the United States: This option also misinterprets the text. Washington's address is not about the ceremony of monarchy.
Therefore, the correct answer is "precedent of term limits, because he is declining consideration for leader of the United States."
Feel free to ask for more explanations for the remaining questions!
