Answer:

Mindful of the precedent his conduct set for future presidents, Washington feared that if he were to die while in office, Americans would view the presidency as a lifetime appointment. Instead, he decided to step down from power, providing the standard of a two-term limit.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Question 1: Actually, he did not.  If he did export and spread the ideals of the Revolution, why did he appoint his brothers and other people to high points in government?  Apart from that, they held the position of kings and monarchs which is opposite to the ideals of the Revolution.  It should be that the people have the right to decide for themselves but they didn’t.  Instead, they lived in fear and rebelled against him.

Question 2: Both revolutions started rather moderately, with people demanding more representation in government. Neither gained the full support of everyone in the respective nations either, as evidenced by Loyalists in the US and counterrevolutions in areas like the Vendee in France. In France, the revolution became more radical and ideological, taking Enlightenment ideals and rationalism to the extreme. The revolution in France also led to the dictatorship of Napoleon and the restoration is Bourbon monarchs, so ultimately a return to the status quo, while the American Revolution was successful in gaining American independence. Furthermore, the French Revolution was fought in France while the American Revolution was fought in the colonies of England and never sought to completely depose George III, just remove his control of the colonies.

Brut [27]
In the light of your question I think it was a Russian success and the US is yet to achieve such achievements. During that time when the Cold War is in the climax between the two superpowers both competed not only in arms race but technological advances trying to outwit each other. The Russians gain the upper hand because they were able to make the things stated above before the United States but in the end the US was able to make also such things in their own ways and successfully outwitting the USSR in economy and world power.
