One of George Washington's most common portraits
He presided over the United States Constitutional Convention in 1787, and established the basic framework of the current American Constitution. During his two-term tenure, he established many of the policies and traditions of the United States that continue to date. After the end of his two terms, he voluntarily renounced his power to renew his mandate, establishing a tradition of not more than two years of American presidency.
Since then, Washington has returned to civilian life, hiding in Mount Vernon. Because he played the most important role in the American War of Independence and the founding of the Nation, Washington was often called the father of the United States. Most American scholars generally associate him with Abraham Lincoln as one of the greatest presidents in American history.
