Q1. washington noted that precedents would be set, and that these would shape future policies of the united states. which of washington’s precedents do you think are most important to modern presidents, and why? explain your answer.

Washington chose to leave the Presidency after two 4-year terms. This was very important to the future of the US Presidential position, as it kept future presidents from staying in office for longer than 8 years at a time (with limited exceptions). This kept one president from becoming too powerful and becoming a dictator of sorts. Hope this helps! :)
