∙ 11y agoGeorge 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.
