Best Answer

Washington was a federalist. Federalists in his time supported the idea of a strong, structured central government. This contrasts with modern conservatives who are more Jeffersonian in thought and practice. They call for a more decentralized federal government with more emphasis on state's rights.

If Washington were to run for office these days I'm sure he would be considered a left leaning libertarian.
