Explanation:

George Washington who ruled the United States of America as the first President in 1789 is highly known as one of the Founding Fathers of the US.

Before the Washington favored non-importation of British goods and performed the role of chairman in 1774 during a meeting that approved George Mason’s Virginia Resolves which involves a set of hostile complaints against the Crown and Parliament.

Following the declaration of Independence by the Americans from the government of Great Britain, he took the role of commander in chief of the colonial military forces.

Washington's role during the American revolutionary war became popular when his troops (Continental Army) regained strength and courage to fight despite starvation and cold while they camped at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania.

Washington led the army together with the French navy to defeat the British army in Yorktown Virginia. This led to the end of the war and ultimately the independence of the United States of America.

Similarly, in 1787, George Washington was again picked as the chairman of the Constitutional Convention, which formulated the United States Constitution, when it was believed and understood that the initial Articles of Confederation were not working.

He became the President of the United States in 1789 and his administration lasted for eight years which was two terms. Instead of going for the third term, he decided to leave the portion power.

He also issued Proclamation of Neutrality, which serves as a guiding principle in terms of external relations affairs for many other United States presidents that followed.
