1. how did george washingtons political beliefs affect his term as president? his beliefs on limited individual power inspired term limits. his reliance on the military made military service essential. his belief in legislative power limited presidential power.

Explanation:

George Washington advocated for constrained executive power to avoid tyranny. He voluntarily stepped down after two terms, establishing an informal term limit precedent later codified in the 22nd Amendment. The other options are incorrect: he emphasized civilian control of the military, not mandatory service; while he respected legislative roles, his actions established a strong, functional executive branch rather than intentionally limiting presidential power.
