Voters registering as independent rather than of any political party

Sagot :


I would say D. George Washington was into the idea of "togetherness". Being independent is not in his favor.

Answer:

An action that represents a break with George Washington's policies is to hold close diplomatic ties with Great Britain and France.

Explanation:

This is so because George Washington defended isolationism and nonintervention in foreign affairs before the relationship of the United States with other countries.

Even Washington's Farewell Address explicitly defended an isolationist tone: "The great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. So far as we have already formed engagements, let them be fulfilled with perfect good faith. Here let us stop. Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none; or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities".
