Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is a. the Justice Department.

Explanation:

The first departments that were created by Congress during George Washington’s presidency included the State Department (which was initially called Foreign Affairs), the Treasury Department, and the War Department; the post office (U.S. postal system) had already been in place before Congress created departments for State, Treasury, and War. The Justice Department was not among the first departments to be created; it was created decades later.
