Answers
The following were precedents that George Washington set during his presidency:
2. He chose well-known leaders to run his executive department and serve as his advisor.
4. He chose to not run for a third term.
The other options are not correct; specifically, the judicial system had more complexity than just Washington establishing nine justices, and while taxes and tariffs were significant during Washington's presidency, he did not create a specific cabinet position solely for that purpose.
