What statement tells an advantage George Washington had and his first term as the first president of the United States

As the first President of the United States, Goerge Washington was the one responsible for setting the standards for the position. He knew his role was critical, as he has to maintain the balance between having a role sufficiently powerful to manage the affairs of the country effectively but also not make it look as a Monarchy where the power was all centralized.

Due to his particularly special position as the first president, there was no precedent to be used as a model of comparison when criticizing his efforts, therefore this was an advantage as all his actions would use the reference for his successors.
