Answer 1

Following the declaration of Independence by the Americans from the government of Great Britain, he took the role of commander in chief of the colonial military forces. Washington's role during the American revolutionary war became popular when his troops regained strength and courage to fight despite starvation and cold while they camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Washington led the army together with the French navy to defeat the British army in Yorktown Virginia. This led to the end of the war and ultimately the independence of the United States of America. Before this Washington favored non-importation of British goods and performed the role of chairman in 1774 during a meeting that approved George Mason’s Virginia Resolves which involves a set of hostile complaints against the Crown and Parliament. Similarly, in 1787, George Washington was again picked as the chairman of the Constitutional Convention, which formulated the United States Constitution, when it was believed and understood that the initial Articles of Confederation were not working.

George Washington set several different examples for future presidents when he took the reigns as president. Some being the creation of the presidential cabinet. This consisted of a group of advisors who helped the president make important decisions about domestic and foreign policies. Another being the limited power of the federal government, Washington made sure to limit the power of the federal government to calm the fears of American citizens and anti-federalists who worried about an overreaching federal government. Washington also issued the Proclamation of Neutrality, which serves as a guiding principle in terms of external relations affairs for many other United States presidents that followed. But what George Washington is most famous for is when stepped down after serving 8 years as president even though he was not required to. This helped to define the executive branch for future presidents. The decision to retire after serving two terms was a major precedent indeed. When he retired in 1797, he created the notion that the individual who held the office was not the president but the person who is vested in the office which means that change of power is important.
