Explanation:
[STC003691] Although the President is granted the authority to nominate the heads of executive departments by the Constitution, the Cabinet was not a formal component of the government when it was first established. But President George Washington thought it would be a good idea to get counsel from all of his department heads at the same time, so the first four positions in the Cabinet were the attorney general, the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, and the secretary of war (changed to secretary of defense in 1947). Abraham Lincoln was the president who established the United States Department of Agriculture in 1862; nevertheless, it wasn’t until 1889 that the position of secretary of agriculture was promoted to a position in the President’s Cabinet.
