The first Cabinet of the United States was created by President Washington in 1787, with the objective that its members collaborate with the president directly, giving him a greater capacity for analysis and reaction to the problems affecting the country.

To do this, Washington appointed Thomas Jefferson (Secretary of State), Henry Knox (Secretary of War), Edmund Randolph (Attorney General) and Alexander Hamilton (Secretary of the Treasury) in his Cabinet.

Today, in addition to the officers who occupy the positions named above, the Cabinet has other members, which gives this consultative body a much greater scope. Today, in addition to the Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense (former Secretary of War), the Secretary of the Treasury and the Attorney General, the Cabinet of the United States is composed of the Vice President, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Commerce, the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, the Secretary of Transportation, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of Education, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, and the Secretary of Homeland Security.
