Question

in his inaugural address, george washington made promises to the country. he said:
\i promise, that as on one side no local prejudices, or attachments—no separate views, no party hatred,
will misdirect the comprehensive eye which ought to watch over this great country; so, on the other, that
the foundations of our national policy will be laid in the pure and unchanging principles of morality...\

in his farewell address, george washington set an important precedent of a two - term limit. he said:
\it is almost time for a new election,... i should therefore inform you that i have decided to not be
among the number of those out of whom a choice is to be made. i have, with good intentions, contributed
towards the organization and administration of the government as best i can but every day the increasing
weight of years admonishes warns me more and more that the shade of retirement is as necessary to me
as it will be welcome....i have the consolation to believe that, while choice and prudence invite me to quit
the political scene, patriotism does not forbid it.

Explanation:

Question 7

To solve this, we analyze each option against Washington's Inaugural Address quote. Option a is incorrect as he promised no local prejudices/attachments. Option b is not directly supported. Option c: The quote says national policy is based on moral principles (doing what's right). Option d is incorrect as the quote doesn't mention looking to past people. So c is correct.

We need a quote supporting question 7's answer (decisions based on morality). Option a: about no prejudices. Option b: about no party hatred. Option c: about watching over the country. Option d: says national policy is laid in moral principles, which matches question 7's answer.

We need a quote explaining why he's not seeking a third term. Option a: just states he's not running. Option b: about his contributions. Option c: says the weight of years (age) makes retirement necessary, explaining the reason. Option d: about patriotism not forbidding, not the reason. So c is correct.

Answer:

c. He would make sure all government decisions would be based on doing what is right.
