Life Application from George Washington

Step 1 of 5

Research

Study Washington’s righteous act. What did he do? What made it righteous?

Washington’s Example:
After winning the Revolutionary War, Washington resigned his military commission and returned to Mount Vernon — rejecting the opportunity to become a military dictator. He later served two terms as President and voluntarily stepped down, establishing the peaceful transfer of power.
