Context
Washington led American forces to victory against Britain from 1775 to 1783, then presided over the Constitutional Convention in 1787. As the first president (1789–1797), he established many precedents for the office, including the two-term tradition and the cabinet system. His voluntary retirement from power after two terms set a crucial democratic example.
