The 22nd amendment limits the president to two terms. Before FDR, there was a precedent set by Washington to serve only two terms, so there was no impelling reason to pass a term-limit amendment. FDR proved that such an amendment was necessary.
Before Franklin Roosevelt , US presidents and nominating conventions honored George Washington's precedent of refusing to try for a third term, so such an amendment did not seem necessary. After Roosevelt sought a third term and even a fourth term, a move began to set term limits for the presidency.
While there was never anything formal in the Constitution about how long a president could serve, it was a custom (started by George Washington) that presidents did not serve more than two terms. That changed in the early 1930s when Franklin D. Roosevelt became president. He was re-elected in 1936 and then, as war loomed on the horizon, he was re-elected yet again. And he was elected for an unprecedented fourth term, undoubtedly because a majority of the country wanted a stable leader rather than political change.
The problem was that FDR was seriously ill, a fact few people knew. He died in 1945 in the midst of that fourth term, and his sudden death was very traumatic to the nation. A movement to change the Constitution began in Congress; members from both parties were concerned about any one person, however popular, staying in office for too long and becoming like a king. The end result was the passage of the 22nd amendment, which said no president could ever serve more than two consecutive terms. It went into effect in 1951.

john franklin was important because he gathered information on the way to the "nothwest passage"
he traveled to the arctic and to the northwest passage.
Franklin is famous for his search for the Northwest Passage through the Canadian arctic in 1845. No one survived after both ships were stuck in the ice. See link below for the Northwest passage song that mentions Franklin.
Hes discovered the north west passage
sir john Franklin explored to find the north west passage and did find it after a couple expeditions
Hes discovered the north west passage
Captain Francis Crozier found the Northwest Passage, though many believe it was Sir John Franklin. Franklin actually died before reaching the passage, leaving Captain Crozier in command of the two ships, Erebus and Terror, and who lead the men across the Simpson Strait, the final step of the Northwest passage.
It limits the presidency to two four-year terms.
