The Constitutional Convention was the reason these presidents were elected because it gave them rights to run for president. Even though George Washington wasn't elected he still had the same rights the other presidents had.

We learn about the first five presidents of the United States because they set a solid foundation and example for the nation to follow. They played an important part in the nations history. We can connect to this today because the first five presidents had to over come multiple problems and the presidents today have to over come problems too.
