Final answer:

Elisha P. Ferry was the first governor of the State of Washington, but he is not listed in the question's choices. Thomas Jefferson drafted the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, George Washington warned about political parties, and in the election of 1796, the vice president was Thomas Jefferson.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first governor of Washington was not any of the individuals listed in the question (A) George Washington, (B) John Adams, (C) Thomas Jefferson, or (D) Henry Stewart as Washington State did not exist during their lifetimes. However, traversing through history, Elisha P. Ferry became the first governor of the State of Washington after it was officially admitted to the Union on November 11, 1889. Prior to statehood, there were governors of the Washington Territory, with Isaac Stevens being the first territorial governor. It's important to note that none of the options provided in the question are correct, hence providing a precise answer is not possible.

Addressing the other historical aspects listed:

  • Thomas Jefferson drafted the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom.
  • George Washington warned people about the dangers of political parties.
  • In the election of 1796, John Adams's vice president was the Republican Thomas Jefferson.
  • Patrick Henry was not a Federalist.
  • The popular vote in the election of 1824 was won by Andrew Jackson, not John Quincy Adams.
