George Washington was the first president of the United States. After leading the military campaign to win American independence, Washington played an important role in the new nation's formation. He was elected leader of the meeting, or convention, that was held to create the Constitution. Later on, Washington's service as the first U.S. President set a tradition for future president to follow. For example, he refused to try to become President more than twice. This began the very democratic tradition of a President not serving more than two terms. This limit is now required by a Constitutional Amendment.
