This answer correctly explains George Washington served two terms as President set a precedent for future Presidents.

Explanation:

The word ""Precedent"" refers to an event that happened in the past which is seen as an example in similar situations. George Washington was the "first president" of the United States of America and gave many precedents to the USA.

When George Washington decided to retire from the duty of President after serving for two terms (8 years), he left a precedent behind for the upcoming future presidents as most of them would similarly choose to retire after serving two terms in order to follow this tradition. It was later in 1951 when serving for only two terms was made a law.
