    Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington were all impeccable leaders. Jefferson had a massive impact on our country, and we may not even be here if it weren't for Washington and his time served as general during the Revolutionary War. But, the achievements made by them do not necessarily reflect on how strong of a president they were. President Lincoln not only was the figurehead for the abolishment of slavery, but he stood as this figurehead when a vast majority of the nation believed strongly against him. He worked tirelessly at ending slavery and did it ever so strategically and fairly that to argue against him being the strongest president listed would be absurd.…

    If ranking presidents from best to worst, Washington by far has been the best president following him would be Jefferson then Madison and finally Adams. They all had very good presidencies, but some were better than the others. One was viewed by the public as a hero, the other was viewed as the writer of the declaration of independence, Madison was considered the father of the constitution and Adams was just viewed as a stubborn man. I choose president Washington as the best one because he was this nation very first president and everyone respected him. Washington easily could’ve become a dictator or a king, but he refused it, he wanted justice for the united states.…

    George Washington could arguably be the best president but reasons as to why Washington was the nation 's most well done president can be drawn from before his presidency as a general during the revolutionary war. During the war he demonstrated great strength in leadership and intelligence, leading his outnumbered army away from defeat on two different occasions that gave them a much needed advantage that ultimately won the war. The first occasion was during the battle of Princeton on December 26th 1776 and in Morristown in 1777. During both instances, Washington seemed to be outnumbered and losing the battles but managed to outsmart the British on both accounts. Afterwards when he was unanimously elected by the electoral college in 1789 and…

    Throughout the years, the United States has experienced the reigns of many of presidents. Some of these presidents having the admiration of the public for being one of the best presidents, and some just have the scum left on the floor. In my opinion one of the best presidents we have had up to date was Lyndon B. Johnson for his hardy attitude, and having the knowledge to comprehend what he can and cannot do. The worst president goes to Bill Clinton for his wishy-washy, hardheaded decision-making, and for risking national security for personal affairs.…

    Personally i think George Washington was one of the greatest presidents because of what he did, who do you think the greatest president was? The first reason why i think George Washington was better than Thomas or Lincoln is because he was the one to spark the plug. The author states the quote " He was the one who originated the concept of a citizen president". I also think he had a lot of knowledge and tried new things out, and was very succesful with the outcomes and ideas.…

    The presidents of the united states were all chosen for a reason, presidents were not randomly picked. However, the way each one acts, and the things each one do, make up their legacy. George Washington created this thing called a "citizen President" (Father of the nation, paragraph 3). Washington was the strongest president of the three because he didn't go based on rules and standards, but he made the rules and standards other presidents used till this day. Washington was one of our best and strongest presidents because he knows what he's doing.…

    There’s a wave of populism sweeping the globe that appears to have made everyone feel either defiantly jubilant or ready to shit their pants, depending on which side of the ideological aisle they’re on. The most prominent example of this populist wave is Donald J. Trump’s upset win over Hillary Clinton in our recent presidential election, but this is not isolated to the United States. Much of Europe, parts of Asia, and South America, as well, have seen such crusades gain momentum, as people become increasingly frustrated with the perceived negative effects of global trade on their local way of life. As the U.S. party primaries followed by the general election this year went on, many in academia and the media passingly puzzled over populist…
