What inference can you make about why george washington never made himself a king? he believed in a government ruled by the people, and even though he had the respect of many people, he didn't want to be treated like royalty. he knew there were no winning generals that had ever made themselves king in the past, and he didn't want to set that precedent for other military leaders. he wanted to set the u. s. apart from great britain's system of government, so he announced the u. s. leader would not be a "king," but a "president." he believed that making himself a king would require him to move away from his plantation in virginia, and he wasn't willing to be apart from his family?
