Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The tradition of only serving two terms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that gives precedents George Washington set as first President of the United States is the one that says: "He refused to serve more than two terms and promoted dignity in office".

George Washington believed that the precedents he set must give the presidency enough power to function adequately in the national government as well as these practices could not show any kind of tendency toward monarchy or dictatorship. He also set precedents for the social life of future presidents in both formal and informal ways.
