Washington was intensely dismayed at the state of affairs, but only slowly came to the realization that something should be done about it. In 1786, Congress approved a convention to be held in Philadelphia to amend the Articles of Confederation. At the Constitution Convention, Washington was unanimously chosen as president.. After the convention, opposition was strident, if not organized, with many of America's leading political figures condemning the proposed government as a grab for power. During the presidential election of 1789, he received a vote from every elector to the Electoral College, the only president in American history to be elected by unanimous approval.
As the first president, Washington was astutely aware that his presidency would set a precedent for all that would follow.

On October 31, 1753, Dinwiddie sent Washington to Fort LeBoeuf, at what is now Waterford, Pennsylvania, to warn the French to remove themselves from land claimed by Britain. The French politely refused and Washington made a hasty ride back to Williamsburg, Virginia's colonial capitol. Dinwiddie sent Washington back with troops and they set up a post at Great Meadows. Washington's small force attacked a French post at Fort Duquesne killing the commander,  and nine others and taking the rest prisoners.The French counter attacked and drove Washington and his men back to his post at Great Meadows After a full day siege, Washington surrendered and was soon released and returned to Williamsburg, promising not to build another fort on the Ohio River.

Before George Washington became president, accompanied George William Fairfax as a surveyor to the unexplored wilderness of the Virginia frontier. Washington showed early signs of natural leadership and shortly after Lawrence's death, Virginia's Lieutenant Governor, Robert Dinwiddie, appointed Washington adjutant with a rank of major in the Virginia military. Washington did not take a leading role in the growing colonial resistance against the British until the widespread protest of the Townshend Acts in 1767. His letters of this period indicate he was totally opposed to the colonies declaring independence. However, by 1767, he wasn't opposed to resisting what he believed were fundamental violations by the Crown of the rights of Englishmen.

Only two of which had survived. she married George on January 6, 1759, after her husband died.   George Washington had no biological children of his own, and it took many years for Washington to come to grips with the fact that he was not going to father his own children.
