Question

As president, George Washington was head of the executive branch of our three-part government. Washington knew he couldn't possibly make all the hundreds of decisions by himself, so he appointed advisers. Washington appointed his advisers carefully and made sure they answered only to the president. Most of those helpers were called secretaries: secretary of the treasury, secretary of war, secretary of state. His advisers also included an attorney general.

Answer 1

This is all true.

With the help of Alexander Hamilton and others, George Washington set up a Federal bureaucracy that was able to respond to the emerging problems in the United States with expertise as they came up.
