Final answer:

Prince William I of Orange is not directly related to the options given, but if the question refers to William III of England (William of Orange), it is true that he was married to James II's daughter and in line for the English throne.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of the options provided, none directly relate to Prince William I of Orange, who was a key figure in the Dutch struggle for independence from Spain in the 16th century. However, if the question refers to William III of England, also known as William of Orange, the statement that he was in line for the throne of England is true. William of Orange was married to Mary II, daughter of James II, which placed him in line for the English throne. Indeed, William and Mary were invited to take the throne during the Glorious Revolution, and they ruled jointly after James II was deposed.

In regards to the other historical figures mentioned, the election of 1796 saw John Adams become president with Thomas Jefferson as his vice president. Thomas Jefferson was also the man who drafted the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom. The founding fathers such as George Washington warned of the dangers of political parties and figures like Patrick Henry were not Federalists.
