The man known as the father of his country had a vision--to guide a young nation toward strength, power and durability. Unanimously elected to the Presidency, Washington's qualifications for the task couldn't have been better. He understood the problems facing the infant country. His authority rested on abilities through public service, along with the devotion of the American people which that service won him. In the words of Thomas Jefferson, "His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known. He was, indeed, in every sense of the word, a wise, a good, and a great man." With his integrity and justice, George Washington planted the fire of liberty in the hearts of his people, to live there and grow as the nation developed
