George Washington established the first cabinet by nominating four people to give him advice and help him carry out his policies. They were Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Henry Knox, and Edmund Randolph.
George Washington's first cabinet had four appointees. They were Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State. Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of the Treasury. Henry Knox was the Secretary of War. Edmund Randolph was Attorney General.
George Washington's cabinet members shaped the new government by firstly being the first, uncalled for cabinet. This was originally just a group that George Washington originally just wished to be surrounded by for ideas and imput on the day's dealings and a place for him to go to for help if he didn't know what to decide. He in doing this then placed a tradition for other presidents to follow, and as of today it is an essential to have a cabinet as the President of the United States.
