Answer 1

Answer:

Warren Harding appointed several distinguished people to his cabinet, such as Charles Evans Hughes as secretary of state.

Explanation:

Charles Evans Hughes was an American lawyer and Republican politician who served as a Supreme Court judge from 1910 to 1916, US Secretary of State from 1921 to 1925, and chaired the Supreme Court from 1930 to 1941.

Hughes served as governor of the State of New York from 1907 to 1910 until he was appointed judge of the United States Supreme Court. He resigned from the Supreme Court to run for the Presidential election of 1916, in which he lost to Woodrow Wilson.

He served as Secretary of State from 1921 to 1925, first on the Warren G. Harding cabinet and after his death as Vice-President under Calvin Coolidge. Hughes resigned in 1925 and served inter alia as a judge at the International Court from 1928 to 1930. In 1930, President Herbert Hoover appointed him as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He retired in 1941.
