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?

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.
