George Washington.

Before the United States of America won independence from British rule, G. Washington was a farmer in the colony of Verginia. He served as a military leader in the revolutionary war. The colonists trusted him because he didn’t want power for himself. He wanted all the states and the people to work together as one. He wanted the government to serve the people well.
Washington said that power should belong to institutions, not to men. He also said that people could understand the USA constitution in many ways, not just one. He did not think that the United States should have strong ties with other countries. G. Washington was the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1796. He is often called “the Father of our Country”
