Explanation:

Washington was chosen over John Hancock because of his military experience and the belief that a Virginian would better unite the colonies. He was considered an incisive leader who kept his "ambition in check". He was unanimously elected commander in chief by Congress the next day.

Answer: George Washington was in a way, forced to be president. In a passage I read called “The Reluctant President” — they (Congress and especially Senator John Langdon) needed his help because he proved himself to be a good leader and general. Especially in the time of the Revolution, they needed someone to help guide the US as a nation.

The explanation or other answer is good too.
