Description

1789年的4月,有一個人把他的手放在《聖經》上,發誓要成為擁護國家憲法的總統。他是這個國家第一位對著憲法公開宣誓的人,也是有史以來第一位依據憲法由人民選出來的總統。他使一個新成立的國家有了法理的根基,並且不遺餘力的確保國家在奉行憲法下,走上正常的軌道,不但奠定這個國家的百年大業,還使得這個國家,後來成為世界上最強盛的國家之一。這個人就是美國開國元勳──喬治‧華盛頓。

有人認為,如果沒有這位被尊稱為「獨立戰爭之父」的英雄,可能就沒有今天的美國。又如果沒有這位大公無私的領袖以身作則,美國的民主制度和權力轉移,就可能難以和平實施至今。如果這樣介紹華盛頓,你還是不知道他是誰的話,沒關係,讓我們翻開書,慢慢來認識這位美國第一人。
