In his Farewell Address, Washington addresses a number of topics, including his participation in the founding of the United States. Which statement from the address best supports the central idea that Washington is proud of the government he has helped to create?a. "After forty-five years of my life dedicated to [my country’s] service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion" (Washington 120).b. "I anticipate with pleasing expectation that retreat in which I promise myself to realize, without alloy, the sweet enjoyment of partaking, in the midst of my fellow-citizens, the benign influence of good laws under a free government, the ever-favorite object of my heart" (Washington 120).c. "I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend" (Washington 120).d. "With me a predominant motive has been to endeavor to gain time to our country to settle and mature its yet recent institutions, and to progress without interruption to that degree of strength and consistency which is necessary to give it, humanly speaking, the command of its own fortunes" (Washington 120).
