Question

What is important about the location George Washington chose for the new

capital?

A.) It was not part of any state.

B.) It was situated along the frontier.

C.) It was part of a large commercial center.

D.) It was in the countryside where it was hard to attack.

Answer 1

It's A, the location was a compromise between North and South -- hence it's somehow mid position if we take only the original 13 colonies into consideration -- also Maryland and Virginia yielded some territory to build the capital so that it wouldn't be part of any existing state.
