Step-by-step explanation:

while we were under British rule, we felt that the king held too much power. the founding fathers worked really hard to create a system that would prevent one person from having too much power. although at the time there were not any term limits for president, Washington was very wary and aware that a third term could (unintentionally) give him too much power. also, he was growing old and felt that if he died while still in office, it would give Americans the impression that being president was a lifetime thing (which would also lead to one man holding a lot of power)
