Question

What were the three original executive departments set up by the first congress?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1789 the congress was created with three departments,

• Foreign Affairs (later renamed State)
• Treasury
• War

The Domestic matters were for other congress's departments, for example, the Department of the Interior.

For the United States, it was so important to divide external and internal problems, and the war always has been a critical point for external relationships.
