that was george washington. and that's the kind of person americans wanted as their president in the early days of the republic in what i call the augustan age, from george washington up to john quincy adams before the united states became a democracy, a system in which president actually exercised political power. ordinary people did not elect george washington. ordinary people did not even elect the electors who chose george washington. according to the constitution, you'll read that each state shall select electors. it doesn't say how. they get to choose how. the states get to choose how the electors are chosen. until the 1820's, most state legislatures chose the electors not the voters in that state. and in that era americans expected the presidents to stand above them. no one wanted george washington to be just one of the gang. and this is why washington could get away with giving that reaction to gouverneur morris because it really served his purposes to be this one who held himself apart from everybody el
