Since George was our first PRESIDENT of the United States of America, the things he did were examples for presidents to follow. The acts that were used by later presidents are called PRECEDENTS.
The precedents set by Washington:
Neutrality in foreign affairs
2-term Presidency
Use of Force To Enforce The Law (Whiskey Rebellion)
Creating a Cabinet to Offer Advice
How to address the President
First to be inaugurated
First to make inauguration speech
Being called "Mr. President"
