People in goerge washingons time thought he was a very honest person. They thought that they can trust him. For example:
When someone gave him cash (lets say $100) he wouldnt spend the cash for himself or lie he doesnt have it. Even if he needed the money badly, he would be honest and return the money back to its rightful owner.
People also thought he would be very responsible if he became president. Lets face it.. They didnt make him president for nothing.
