Answer 1

Washington received assistance in administering the executive branch through Congress's creation of executive departments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Washington received assistance in administering the executive branch through Congress's creation of executive departments. In 1789, when Congress debated the creation of executive departments, Washington fought hard to protect the president's right to remove cabinet officers. This allowed the president to have more control over the administration of the executive branch.
