As the first president of the United States, George Washington faced many challenges. Identify those challenges and describe important precedents he established for his new government. Describe the key points and significance of Washington's farewell address.

The United States Electoral College elected Washington as the first president in 1789. He received 100 percent of the electoral votes and remains the only president of U.S. to be elected unanimously. He was re-elected, again unanimously, in the 1792 election. In a sense, President Washington was the new nation's political fault-line and all eyes were watching for the first sign of slippage. One way that he addressed this problem was in carefully tending to the style of presidential governance, well aware that the style of governance could shape the new nation as much as its constitutional framework. Washington was elected unanimously by the Electoral College in 1789 as the nation's first president. ​Runner-up John Adams became vice president. In 1792 another unanimous vote by the Electoral College gave Washington a second term.
