OPINION: Based on what you learned in Lesson 6.1 about George Washington's presidency, what do you believe was his most significant contribution? Explain your reasoning.

Keep it short

I believe George Washington's most significant contribution was setting the precedent for a peaceful transfer of power through his decision to step down after two terms as president. This established the idea of a limited term in office and solidified the peaceful transition of leadership as a cornerstone of American democracy.
