À propos de cet audio
No other president in American history faced so many decisions about the scope of his constitutional powers as did George Washington. Keenly aware that his interpretations of the fundamental charter would set precedent for future generations, and reluctant to appear that he was gathering power like a king, Washington was extremely cautious as chief executive. Throughout his two terms in office, he was especially careful to shore up the notion of separation of powers, ensuring that each branch of government retained its own independent sphere of authority under the new Constitution. Through careful, restrained exercise of power, Washington paradoxically helped to build a strong and respected American presidency.
