The correct answer is A) it set up four departments to carry out different tasks.

Congress organized the executive branch of the newly formed United States in 1789 in that it set up four departments to carry out different tasks.

In 1789, the US Congress created these Executive departments: Foreign Affairs that later became the Department of State, Department of Treasury, Department of war, and an Attorney General.

The members that occupied those departments during George Washinton presidency were   Thomas Jefferson (Department of State), Alexander Hamilton (Department of the Treasury), Henry Knox (Department of war), and Edmund Randolph (Attorney General).

by 1890, the united states had by far the world's most productive economy. american industry produced twice as much as its closest competitor--britain. but the united states was not a great military or diplomatic power. its army numbered less than 30,000 troops, and its navy had only about 10,000 seamen. britain's army was five times the size of its american counterpart, and its navy was ten times bigger. the united states' military was small because the country was situated between two large oceans and was surrounded by weak or friendly nations. it faced no serious military threats and had little interest in asserting military power overseas.
