Although Washington was the commanding and victorious general in the Revolutionary, he served as a leader in the continental congress before the war began, chaired the constitutional convention after the war and served two terms as the first President of the United States and it was a time of peace.
George Washington and James Madison both participated in the Constitutional Convention of 1787.Madison was particularly important as he was on of the authors of the Virginia Plan, an early draft on which the Framers drew heavily and George Washington chaired the convention.
Just his being there was enough. Madison and others write that he didn't say a word during the whole process. He chaired the convention and his presence was enough to keep it going. In letters that I have read he didn't even smile ( but there are reports he wasn't the type to smile or joke with people naturally) and the delegates respected him. He is described as austere and aloof by many historians. Since he was a federalist I think he must have put some pressure/support to the idea of a federal government .
