Question

What was the reason for gorge Washington to be president and why?

Answer 1

Answer: George Washington was in a way, forced to be president. In a passage I read called “The Reluctant President” — they (Congress and especially Senator John Langdon) needed his help because he proved himself to be a good leader and general. Especially in the time of the Revolution, they needed someone to help guide the US as a nation.

The explanation or other answer is good too.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Washington was chosen over John Hancock because of his military experience and the belief that a Virginian would better unite the colonies. He was considered an incisive leader who kept his "ambition in check". He was unanimously elected commander in chief by Congress the next day.
