Answer 1

A really good example of a person that didn't desire power in any way but accepted it is George Washington. Washington was an intensely private man that simply wanted to return home to Virginia after the Revolutionary War, which he did. However, when he was called to attend the Philadelphia(Constitutional) Convention, he went knowing that he was going to be called on to be leader of the newly formed nation to take it out of the problems that it was suffering under the Articles of Confederation. While Washington only wanted a quiet life to himself, he took the residency and the power that went with it, and made a large impact on the nation. He set many standards for the presidency, including the standard of a president only serving 2 terms in office.
