One way in which he was a good president was in the way that he never tried to harness power for himself and then keep it that way. He believed in democracy and republicanism in the United States and was against any form of tyranny. One precedent that he left was having two terms as a maximum. It wasn't made a law until FDR, but people just had two terms at most due to Washington.

Answer:

Washington set several precedents or examples for future presidents to follow. President Washington was careful to make sure the office of the president would conduct itself with appropriate ceremony and splendor. He avoided any action that hinted at royalty. Washington also included the creation of a cabinet with two term limitations and the giving of an inaugural and farewell speech. Washington saw leadership as a way to serve the nation and not as a way to profit or better his position. He felt the government should serve the people instead of the people serving the government. Washington retired after two terms as president which later became the legal limit for terms for presidents.
