SUMMARY:Virtual Author's Talk - The Cabinet: Washington and the Creation of an American Institution
DESCRIPTION:Lindsay M. Chervinsky discusses The Cabinet: Washington and the Creation of an American Institution\, an examination of the extralegal creation of the president’s advisory body in response to the threats facing George Washington and the first administration. The book also demonstrates the importance of Washington’s military experience to the formation of the presidency and the federal government. \nFaced with diplomatic crises\, domestic insurrections and constitutional challenges—and finding congressional help lacking—George Washington decided he needed a group of advisors. Washington modeled his new cabinet on the councils of war he had led as commander of the Continental Army. In the early days\, the cabinet served at the president’s pleasure. He tinkered with its structure throughout his administration\, at times calling regular meetings\, at other times preferring written advice and individual discussions. \nLindsay M. Chervinsky reveals the far-reaching consequences of Washington’s choice. The tensions in the cabinet between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson heightened partisanship and contributed to the development of the first party system. And as Washington faced an increasingly recalcitrant Congress\, he came to treat the cabinet as a private advisory body to summon as needed\, greatly expanding the role of the president and the executive branch. \nThe talk will last approximately one hour on Zoom. Unsigned copies of the book are available for purchase online and personalized book plates are available from the author. To request a book plate\, please click here. Registration is required for this free event. \n\n  \nAbout the Speaker\nDr. Lindsay M.
