How did George Washington become president -?

Answer 1

George Washington was elected according to the procedure indicated in the newly ratified Constitution. As a successful military figure, as well as head of the Constitutional Convention, he was a natural choice as a national leader for the new United States. George Washington held the ragtag Colonial army of farmers together and was favored for his political ideals.

George Washington was incredibly popular with the American people after leading the American revolutionary army to victory to create a country. The popular story is that he was asked to be "king" of the new nation, but he favored a constitutional republic, help draw up the constitution and pushed the states to ratify it.

By the end of the Revolutionary War, General George Washington was a very popular and influential person. Washington had been commander-in-chief of the American armed forces, and with the end of the war he resigned his military commission and retired to Mount Vernon. Shortly thereafter, he was convinced to attend the Constitutional Convention and was elected unanimously as the president of the convention. The office of the presidency was created at this convention, and in 1789 the electoral college unanimously elected him as president. Washington reluctantly accepted the position; it was not one he sought. He was reelected in 1792, but he refused to run for a third term (there were no term limits at the time; therefore he could have easily run an unlimited number of times and been "president for life").

In 1797, Washington relinquished power and stepped down from the presidency. This was revolutionary itself -- for people used to kings who ruled for life, Washington set an example of a powerful, popular leader who stood aside to make way for democratic succession.
