George Washington?

Question

What was George Washington's greatest contribution to the founding of the United States?

Answer 1

George Washington (February 22, 1732–December 14, 1799) commanded America's war for independence (1775–1783), and was the first President of the United States, from 1789 to 1797. Because of his central role in the founding of the United States, Washington is often called the "Father of his Country." His devotion to republicanism and civic virtue made him an exemplary figure among early American politicians.


Major acts as President
Organized the first United States Cabinet and the Executive Branch
Established the United States federal judiciary
Oversaw the ratification of the United States Bill of Rights

Answer 2

George Washington and his contributions to America are best detailed in a Congressional proclamation "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen." The only president to be elected unanimously, Washington received all 69 of the electoral votes cast at the time.

George Washington stand above them all. His leadership, virtue, and selflessness in name of country are still unequalled. He led the Continental Army without pay and earned respect and loyalty from men going without supplies and pay -- any other person in that role may have lost the men and so the Revolution. As president he made decisions carefully, established precedents, mindful of the country's future. His biggest achievement -- giving up power and passing it on through an election -- truly revolutionary!! He has been called "the only indispensable founder", both for his victory over the British, and for holding the U.S. together during the formative years of our republic. .
George Washington is the "Greatest American" because of the courage he displayed as a general in battle which helped win our freedom and establish our country. As our first President, he held our fragile country together by leading with strength and wisdom. He is truly the first, and because his behavior exemplified those ideals which we cherish and celebrate on national holidays - we commemorate him as #1 on our currency and should remember his success - as an American who continues to be the "Greatest"!

Answer 3

I'm going to go with helping us to win the revolutionary war. There are several correct answers to this, but that personally is going to be my answer. He was a general in the military, there is a famous painting of him sailing across the Delaware. He did this under the cover of night to escape the British which pretty much had him trapped.
