WASHINGTON'S PRESIDENCY:

Question

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING WERE PRECEDENTS THAT GEORGE WASHINGTON SET DURING HIS PRESIDENCY? SELECT ALL THAT APPLY.
1. HE ESTABLISHED A JUDICIAL SYSTEM OF NINE JUSTICES THAT IS STILL IN PLACE TODAY.
2. HE CHOSE WELL-KNOWN LEADERS TO RUN HIS EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT AND SERVE AS HIS ADVISOR.
3. HE ESTABLISHED A TAX AND TARIFF CABINET POSITION.
4. HE CHOSE TO NOT RUN FOR A THIRD TERM.

Answer 1

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.
3. 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.
