vRead the paraphrase of a text written by George Washington. What does this text represent?

Precedent of term limits, because he is threatening to resign if members of Congress run for office a third time
Precedent of term limits, because he is declining consideration for leader of the United States
Refusal to be named king, because he is stepping down from leadership of the United States
Sense of the ceremony of monarchy, because he is making a formal address to the United States

What was the main idea behind the Federalist Papers?

Support of states' rights
Support of the Bill of Rights
Support of a strong federal government
Support of the Articles of Confederation

The correct answer is B. Precedent of term limits, because he is declining consideration for leader of the United States.

To arrive at this answer, you can analyze the key points in the text.

1. The text mentions that it is about the time for a new election of a citizen to be president of the United States. This suggests that a new election for the presidency is approaching.
2. The text states that the author will not be among the candidates considered for the position. This indicates that the author is declining to be considered for the presidency.

Combining these two points, we can infer that the author is setting a precedent of term limits by voluntarily stepping down from the leadership role and declining to be considered for the position again. This aligns with option B, which states that the text represents the precedent of term limits.
