Answer 1

The precedents that George Washington set during his presidency include:

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

While Washington did influence the establishment of the judicial system, the specific structure of nine justices was not directly established by him but rather came later. Similarly, while Washington's administration did address taxation and tariffs, he did not create a specific cabinet position solely for that purpose.
