George Washingtons presidency was vital in the development of young America. Washington was a trusted figure, a war hero, he lead America to its independence during the Revolutionary war. The citizens of the united state followed him with their trust. Washington set many of the precedents for the president that are still followed to this day, for example the two term limit was established after he retired, only to be broken by FDR and it was later instated as a law. Without George Washington America would have been extremely different.
Government powers not provided to the national government in the us constitution but are rather given to the states by the 10th amendment are called <em>reserved powers</em>. :)
