Question

is three too many? creating connections social studies: us history i in 1791, george washington was a really big deal. he was a hero for having led the continental army to victory in the american revolution, and he was now wrapping up his second term as the first president of the united states. of course, he wanted to run for a third term, right? nope. once his second term was finished, washington decided to retire. why didnt washington do everything he could to hold onto power for a third term? according to historians, he actually had multiple reasons for deciding that two terms were enough. first, having been very involved in the american revolution, washington knew firsthand how much time and effort it took to break free from britain, and he was vigilant about not doing anything that seemed too british. at the time, besides perpetual tea breaks, the most british thing of all was having a monarch for life. also, washington was getting older, and he worried that if he won a third term and then died in office, americans would just assume that all presidents should serve until they died...just like monarchs did back in britain. second, washington wanted to be seen as a modest leader. he cared about his legacy and he wanted a nice write - up in the history books. but washington was living in an era when overt ambition - which is usually considered a good thing these days - was viewed as a weakness. so, rebuffing a third term, and appearing not to care if he was the most powerful man in the country, garnered washington tons of respect. image credit: clifford kennedy berman national archives this 1912 political cartoon shows a statue of george washington scolding theodore roosevelt after he had running for president after he had already served nearly two terms. question 5 which question is not answered by the article? a. why was theodore roosevelt hotly criticized during the presidential election of 1912? b. what did cabinet members openly argue about during george washingtons second term? c. what argument about presidential term limits do opponents of the 22nd amendment make? d. why did franklin roosevelt argue that george washingtons precedent didnt apply to him?
