Military: Germany was limited to a very small military (no more than 100,000 men of all ranks), and was not allowed to have any heavy artillery. This was to prevent Germany from gaining a military strong enough to launch another attack, but since a strong military was a very important part of remaining a world power, this meant Germany could never hope to achieve this whilst honoring the treaty.
Economic: Germany was forced to pay reparations (as they were being blamed for the war) to many countries, mainly Belgium and France. The amount was far to much for Germany to ever pay off, and was a key factor in Germany's economic crisis shortly thereafter.
Territorial: Germany was forced to give up all of it's colonies, which were given to various League of Nations powers. This was a major loss of land and population for the country, not to mention a loss of money from said colonies, again leading back to economics.

Precedent means "a decision that can be legally used due to the current situation"
For example, in the US constitution:
1) "The Ratification of the Conventions of 9 states, shall be sufficient for the Establishment of this Constitution between the states so ratifying the Same"
- It is already ratified, and so we don't really need it
2) "All debts contracted and Engagements entered into, before the adoption of this constitution, shall be as valid against the US under this Constitution, as under the Confederation"
-Again, it is already ratified, note that it says "before the adoption"
3) "No person held to Service or Labour in One state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labour, but shall be delivered up on claim of the Party to whom such Service or Labour may be due".
- We really don't need this anymore, because we don't have slavery
hope this helps
