The establishment of the Cabinet under President George Washington was not directly mentioned in the Constitution; however, it was implied through Article II, which grants the president the authority to seek advice from department heads. Washington recognized the need for a group of advisors to help manage the growing complexities of the federal government. He appointed key figures, such as Thomas Jefferson as Secretary of State and Alexander Hamilton as Secretary of the Treasury, thus setting a precedent for the Cabinet as an essential advisory body. This practice has since become a fundamental aspect of the executive branch.

In general, the views of Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton on the application of the Constitution were quite different. In The Bank Debate, the Constitutionality of banks were argued. Jefferson believed in Strict Construction, meaning that if the Constitution didn't directly say something, then they couldn't do it, such as banks, which were not included in the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton, on the other hand, believed in Loose Construction, which meant that if the Constitution doesn't say they can't do something, they can. So to Hamilton, banks were Constitutional because they weren't mentioned in the Constitution; for Jefferson banks were unconstitutional for the same reason.

The Whiskey Rebellion highlighted the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation, particularly the federal government's inability to levy taxes or maintain order. While it did not directly convince George Washington to revise the Articles, it underscored the need for a stronger central government, which he and other leaders recognized. This realization contributed to the Constitutional Convention of 1787, ultimately leading to the drafting of the U.S. Constitution to address these deficiencies.
