During his presidency, George Washington dealt with a series of political problems within the government and from foreign countries that threatened to tear his administration, and the country, apart. What were those problems?

Answer 1

The problems from the foreign countries were coming from nations of Great Britain and Spain, because these nations were  interfering with the international trade of the USA with other nations and obstructing the trade of the USA. Further, these nations were pushing the native Americans of the USA to revolt against the administration of President George Washington, and do some attack on public assets to destabilize the country. It means that the president faced the problem of interference even in the internal matters by the foreign countries Great Britain and Spain. Besides, the president also faced the problem of intimidation by the foreign nations who were trying to push USA into the war and the USA could afford to do that during that time. It posed another problem to the president.

Besides, the president was also facing the problem of financial debt and it was used as a tool by the creditors to destabilize the administration. Farmers were creating other problems by not paying the taxes and making the government short on revenues. It collectively presented different types of problems to the president.
