• 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 term.

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 statements are not accurate: Washington did not establish the judicial system of nine justices—it was established by Congress after his presidency, and there was no specific "Tax and Tariff cabinet position" created by him.
