Respuesta :
Washington's concerns for the country's future deepened during a 1784 trip to his estates in the western frontier. As a result, Washington, in 1786, doubted whether the general failings of humanity could form a viable constitution and even suggested that a ruling class might be needed. Washington also realized that many citizens suspected the constitutional convention would usurp power from the states through an all-powerful, quasi-imperial central government.
Additionally, Washington initially refused to attend because he suspected he would be made the constitutional convention's leader and possibly proposed as the nation's first chief executive. Washington was not supposed to gain power, and active participation in the convention—with its implicit presidential caveat—could be perceived as such by the public. As a proud man, Washington was protective of the reputation he gained from his war service and was loath to diminish it.
