What were George Washington views and contributions to the constitution?

Washington did not contribute any major ideas to the Constitution. As the single most respected, even revered man at the convention, his very presence gave legitimacy to the proceedings and the results. If Washington was involved in it, then people were willing to accept, or at least consider, it. Thus his involvement helped assure ratification. Furthermore, all of the members understood, whether they said so out loud or not, that Washington would be the first president. thus in shaping the office they thought in terms of him, of his strength, hios character, and the fact that he had once before walked away from great power rather than abusing it. Thus they made the office much more powerful than they probably otherwise would have. Michael Montagne
