Answer:
George Washington was a pivotal figure in the French and Indian War from the earliest days. For Washington the French and Indian War started in late 1753, when he was selected as the British emissary to the French frontier establishment. It ended with the fall of Fort Duquesne to the combined British and colonial forces. He was a young and ambitious man when he volunteered. His actions--which reflected his lack of experience--and his ambitions helped determine the course of the war.

The U.S. Constitution was a better reflection of the principles of checks and balances and separation of powers. Unlike the Articles the Constitution explicitly created a federal government divided between 3 branches which each had the power to check and balance the behavior of the other through constitutionally granted powers. This was different from the Articles of Confederation which was essentially just a Congress. Also the powers in the constitution were separated between the three branches and each branch was given specific powers that could be checked by other branches through the process of governing.
