Who was the first president of the United States of America?

Answer 1

The first president of the United States was George Washington, who began as a young surveyor who grew up on a plantation called, "Mount Vernon" in Virginia. As the leader of the Continental Army during the American Revolution, Washington spent a bone-chilling winter with his men in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. He won very few decisive battles and his comrade in arms, Benedict Arnold turned traitor as well as Major Andre. The American navy fared a bit better under John Paul Jones. The submarine made its first appearance in the war as well. It consisted of one man in a glorified barrel who drilled holes in the hulls of the British ships. After the American Revolution, the people wanted Washington to be the king. He politely refused. Thomas Jefferson, who would be America's third president, after John Adams, drew up the Articles of Confederation, which all 13 colonies ratified. Then Jefferson drafted the U.S. Constitution with some Bills of RIghts attached. It set up a three-branched government with checks and balances. The branches were the following: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. The head of the executive branch would be the president of a new democratic republic, which was to be Washington.
