What was the name of the department set up by washington to carry out the duties of the presidency? a) cabinet b) congress c) advisory d) committees

The correct answer is A. The department set up by Washington to help carry out the duties of the presidency was the Cabinet.

Explanation:

The first president of the United States, George Washington, had quickly identified the need for a cabinet, since he considered that the role of President of the United States was too broad and comprehensive to dispense with an advisory body. One of his first acts was to arrange for the establishment of the Departments of State, Treasury and War in Congress. These departments would be run by officials called secretaries. These secretaries were going to be directly subordinate to the president and could be removed from office at any time.

George Washington's first cabinet consisted of Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of War Henry Knox, and Attorney General Edmund Randolph.
