Why would Wilson consider a war against Germany to be a war for democracy?
US President Woodrow Wilson, saw the main World War One allies, France and England to be "democratic" nations, even if there were some flaws in how their governments operated. Clearly, not all of the allies had the democratic freedoms of the US. With that said, the main enemy, Germany, was a monarchy run by the Kaiser. There were few democratic features in Germany's government, and with other nations allied with Germany. With that said, it was easy for Wilson to connect the dots and see the war as one where democratic nations were in conflict with non-democratic ones.As an aside, the US has never fought a war against a democratic nation.

How did president Washington set the course for the new nation?
The first thing George Washington did was to make sure the United States was an independent country, one that was in no way beholden to England. He supported the newly written Constitution and the Bill of Rights; and he made certain that the public did not perceive him as a king-- in fact, although he could probably have served as many terms as he wished, he restricted himself to two terms as president. He also showed a willingness to welcome religious minorities-- he was tolerant of Jews and even visited a synagogue, where he spoke about the importance of religious freedom and stated that America was a country where people were free to practice whatever faith they wished. Both President Washington and his wife Martha were very popular, and by most historical accounts, the public had great confidence in the president's ability to lead the new nation.
