Hello!
Q: What difficulties did George Washington face as the first President?
Ans: Washington faced quite a few problems during his time as the first President. Firstly, America's debt had to be paid, and that put a lot of pressure on George Washington. President Washington's Secretary of the Treasury (Alexander Hamilton) came up witha debt, so that the states that hadn't fully repaid their debt could do so.
Another difficulty was that conflict going on between Great Britain and America and Spain and America. The British were trying to interfere with trade and the Spanish helped the Native Americans attack them.
Q: What are some precedents George Washington set as President?
Ans: Washington set up many precedents. I'm going to list a few. Firstly, he introduced a policy of neutrality pertaining to foreign wars (until WW1).
Secondly, he set the precedent for a two term limit of Presidents. Washington also established the tradition of a presidential farewell address.
Can't seem to answer the third question, I hope this was helpful! (Sorry for the super-long paragraphs).
