Need Help really quick please. 1. (4 points) Read the passage below from “George Washington’s Farewell Address” and select the correct multiple-choice answer.

“To the efficacy and permanency of your Union, a government for the whole is indispensable. No alliances, however strict, between the parts can be an adequate substitute. They must inevitably experience the infractions and interruptions which all alliances in all times have experienced. Sensible of this momentous truth, you have improved upon your first essay by the adoption of a Constitution of government better calculated than your former for an intimate Union and for the efficacious management of your common concerns. This government, the offspring of our own choice uninfluenced and unawed, adopted upon full investigation and mature deliberation, completely free in its principles, in the distribution of its powers uniting security with energy, and containing within itself a provision for its own amendment, has a just claim to your confidence and your support.”

Washington stresses the importance of “a government for the whole.” He acknowledges a counterclaim for his position. There will be conflicting priorities between different parts of the country.
Does Washington effectively rebut (disprove) the counterclaim in the passage above? Change the answer you select below to red font.
A) Yes, because he states that alliances can be a substitute for government.
B) No, because he states that alliances can be a substitute for government.
C) Yes, because he states that the Constitution can be amended to meet the country’s needs.
D) No, because he states that the Constitution can be amended to meet the country’s needs.

"C"

Explanation:

George Washington's language is ambiguous in this text. At least to me. I have a degree in Economics. A wild guess is "C".

Because my recollection and understanding were Washington believed that the Constitution could be amended. Furthermore, using a process of elimination; A. is wrong because he never makes the claim that alliances are substitutes for the government. B.  Can't be either. I am leaning toward "C" and possibly D. In terms of probability, however, I lean toward C.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
