How did George Washington change America as president?

History

Tamiku [17]3 years ago

Answer:

He created, or established, the presidency. Except for these caveats, it is the substantial consensus among historians that Washington's tenure in office set the nation on a path that has endured now for over 200 years, longer than any other republic in history. He established precedents that would last for generations and did more to flesh out the skeleton of the presidential office than anyone could have expected or predicted. As one scholar has said, he "invented tradition as he went along." His actions, more than those of any other Founding Father, became a part of the "unwritten Constitution.

Also, although Washington hated partisanship and political parties, he tolerated dissent, vicious attacks on his reputation and name, and a divisive press—all in the interest of freedom. There is little reason to suggest that Washington, unlike so many of his successors, ever sought to use his office for personal empowerment or gain. Neither did he shelter his friends for the sake of their friendships when conflicts of interest arose.

Perhaps most importantly, Washington's presidential restraint, solemnity, judiciousness, and nonpartisan stance created an image of presidential greatness, or dignity, that dominates the office even today. He was the man who could have been a king but refused a crown and saved a republic.

velikii [3]
Before it was established, two-four year terms were common because president Washington popularized it by his choice to do so. This was however never a written law, when the 22nd Amendment was created it was due to the fact President Roosevelt won four terms.

il63 [147K]
A lot of famous and infamous monarchs have come from the Tudors.
The Tudor dynasty was a turning point from the beginning because its first monarch, Henry VII, became the monarch at the end of a series of battles now known as the War of the Roses.

Later on, the well-known monarchs Mary I ("Blood y Mary") and Elizabeth I, both members of the Tudor dynasty, came to throne, performing many history-changing actions.
