Final Answer:
1. Three things Washington did that presidents still do today:
- He created the presidential cabinet (like having advisors such as Secretary of State and Secretary of the Treasury).
- He served two terms before stepping down (setting a tradition later followed by most presidents until FDR).
- He assumed the role of Commander in Chief of the U.S. Armed Forces (a role all presidents still hold).
2. One way Washington differed from every other U.S. president:
He was the only U.S. president who did not belong to a political party. He warned against political parties because he believed they would divide the country and weaken the government’s authority.
3. Popular sovereignty means:
The idea that the power of the government comes from the people — meaning the people are the ones who give the government its authority, and the government exists to serve them.
