George Washington and John Adams had Cabinets that had far less constituents. Also, the appointed members of the Cabinet were generally not paid for their services as much as today's Cabinet members are.
This is a leading question -- I have not read anything about conflicts in the President's cabinet. In past years, cabinet members have had disagreements for various reasons. Cabinets members used to meet more often so there was more opportunity for personality conflicts.
