and George Washington.( George Washington, February 22, 1732 - December 14, 1799), commander-in-chief of the Colonial Army during the American War of Independence from 1775 to 1783, became the first president of the United States in 1789 (it also became the world's first head of state with the title of "President"), in both successive elections gained the full voting support without objection, and remained president until 1797 (term: April 30, 1789 - March 4, 1797). Washington served as a colonial officer in support of the British Empire in the early years of the French Indian War. After leading the Continental Corps to win American independence in the American War of Independence, he rejected some of his colleagues' proposals to lead the military regime, and returned to his mansion in Mount Vienna in 1783 to restore civilian life. In 1787, Washington presided over the Constituent Assembly. The Assembly formulated the present Constitution of the United States. In 1789, he became the first president of the United States with the support of all the electors without objection. He established many policies and traditions that continued to this day during two terms. After the end of two terms, he voluntarily gave up power to no longer seek renewal. Because he played the most important role in the American War of Independence and the founding of the nation, Washington is often referred to as the Father of America, and scholars rank him and Abraham Lincoln as the greatest presidents in American history. On December 23, 1783, Washington resigned from his position as commander-in-chief in the army to the Congress of the Confederation, which later met in the House of Representatives in Annapolis, Maryland. This was a very important process for the emerging nation, establishing a precedent for civilian-elected officials—not military-organized governments—to avoid the emergence of militarist regimes. Washington firmly believes that only the people have sovereignty over the country, and no one can seize power in the United States, or just because he was born a nobility. Washington then returned to Mount Vernon and arrived at home on the evening of the Christmas Eve in 1783. Since the war of 1775, he had never had a chance to go home. At the door he was welcomed by his wife, who had promised him to return home in eight years, and four grandchildren who had been able to walk, all of whom were born during the time of his departure from home. The war also took the life of his adopted son-in-law John, who died in a fever march in the city of York in 1781. When Washington left the army, his final title in the Continental Corps was “General and Commander-in-Chief.” In 1787, Washington presided over a constitutional conference in Philadelphia. He did not participate in the discussion, but his prestigeined the order of the conference and allowed the delegation to focus on the discussion. After the meeting, his prestige made many, including the Virginia State Parliament, believe in the outcome of the conference and supported the U.S. Constitution. Washington’s estate covers 8,000 acres (32 square kilometers), like many other farmers at the time, and despite having a lot of land, Washington has little cash in his hands and often borrowed around.
