Philip Ramsey · Answer 1

In Washington's farewell address to the public, he did a few major things:

First of all, he set the precedence that a president must serve only two terms

Second, he warned the public of political parties, and said they would tear apart the government

Third, he warned not to make permanent ties with foreign countries because it could hurt us later.

All of this came together to shape our presidents of the future. With the knowledge above, we can get rid of the first and last choice. That leaves us with B and C, but if we again reference the information above, we can find that B would be the correct answer.
