Answer:
- he was elected unanimously
- he participated in the Revolutionary war
- he helped the elaboration of the U.S. Constitution
Step-by-step explanation:
George Washington became the U.S. president (1789-1797) because he was unanimously elected with 69 electoral votes. The main reasons for his election were his participation in the Revolutionary war (he was the Commander of the American forces) – he was considered a national hero, and he also helped the elaboration of the U.S. Constitution in Philadelphia.
He didn't have any public campaign, as he was considered very humble, which also influenced his election to be the first U.S. President.
