Because George Washington was the first president, I would have to argue that the purpose of Washington's cabinet was to help set the foundation of America. I mean, think about it: it was during Washington's presidency that our banking system was created and established; that term alone set up America's economy for the rest of our lives. Of course, the president uses his cabinet as a reassurance tool, meaning that before he makes huge decisions that will impact millions of lives for the rest of their lives, he must talk it over with his cabinet, first.

One of the definitions of cabinet is: a body of advisers of a head of state. Therefore, as a body of advisers to the President of the United States, the term Cabinet is fitting. The name comes from English history and the cabinet of the king of England existed long before there was a United States.
President George Washington created a lot of institutions and traditions as the first president. One of the traditions he began was the presidential appointment of cabinet positions. Washington appointed four people to cabinet positions. His Secretary of the Treasury was Alexander Hamilton, the guy on the $10 bill.Rounding out the cabinet was Thomas Jefferson as the Secretary of State, Henry Knox as Secretary of War, and Edmond Randolph as the Attorney General.The modern cabinet now consists of 15 positions.

Who was a member of George washingtons first government
I have not heard that exact term before, but I believe what it refers to is that Washington, being the first president, had to establish the entire presidential cabinet himself, as it is not dictated in the constitution.
Washington had four cabinet members: Sec. of State, Sec. of War, Sec. of Treasury and the Attorney General.
The Constititution provides the power to creat cabinet positions. George Washington decided he needed Secretaries of State, War,Treasury and an Attorney General and asked Congress to create and fund these positions. He then appointed people to fill them and got them approved by the senate.
