(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.

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 are not correct: while Washington's administration influenced the establishment of the judicial system, the Supreme Court was not initially set with nine justices by him. The position of Secretary of the Treasury, for instance, evolved to also include the roles of tax and tariff management under Hamilton, but Washington did not establish a "Tax and Tariff cabinet position" as a separate entity.
