What makes America great is the idea that the power of government is derived from the consent of the governed. The original way that this idea was made real through the constitution supports some of the greater minds of the constitutional congress in the lead for this title. But the fact that Washington chose to limit his power in both scope and duration by setting the 2 term precedent may mean he is the greatest of many heros in American history.
