It was important because this president was the guarantor of the unity of the young nation, constitution, and security. None presidents came into office with more prestige than George Washington. Realizing the plan to transform the country from a colony into a prosperous republic, Washington was able to lay the foundations of the Democracy of American Society: the embodiment of the ideas of the Constitution with its system of checks and balances, with financial and tax systems, stimulation of the development of industry, manufactories and factories, as well as with сonstruction of roads, canals, bridges and other infrastructure structures, and finally, the building of the capital-Washington. I HOPE IT HELPS YOU!
