Read the excerpt from “George Washington.”

Washington longed to retire to his fields at Mount Vernon. But he soon realized that the Nation under its Articles of Confederation was not functioning well, so he became a prime mover in the steps leading to the Constitutional Convention at Philadelphia in 1787. When the new Constitution was ratified, the Electoral College unanimously elected Washington President.

Which provides the best objective summary of this excerpt?

Even though he was unanimously elected to be president, Washington wished he could retire to Mount Vernon instead.
The Constitution probably would not have been ratified if Washington had retired early at Mount Vernon instead of attending the Constitutional Convention.
Washington played a major role in the events that led to the ratification of the Constitution and was elected to be the country’s first president.
Even though he wished to retire, George Washington knew that the nation needed help, so he put a lot of effort into helping to develop the Constitution. Eventually, the Constitutional Convention took place in Philadelphia in 1787, and the Constitution was approved. Then, Washington was elected president of the country. The entire Electoral College voted for him.
