(1 point)

He established a judicial system of nine justices that is still in place today

He chose well known leaders to run his executive departments and serve as his advisors

He established a Tax and Tariff cabinet position

He chose to not run for a third form

Answer 1

The precedents that George Washington set during his presidency include:

• He chose well known leaders to run his executive departments and serve as his advisors.
• He chose to not run for a third term.

The other options listed are not accurate in the context of precedents set by Washington:

• The judicial system of nine justices was established through the Judiciary Act of 1789, which Washington signed, but it was not solely his precedent.
• There was no specific "Tax and Tariff cabinet position" established by Washington; instead, he had a Secretary of the Treasury who managed financial matters, including taxes and tariffs.

So, the correct selections are the second and fourth options.
