The first election under the Constitution is scheduled for the early months of 1789. The newly-elected Congress, says historian Bernard Bailyn, is a "creative force in our constitutional life" for two reasons: the Bill of Rights, submitted to the House by James Madison, and the Judiciary Act of 1789 which creates the federal judicial system. The system, however, is not complete until Washington's administration puts it into effect. Washington knew that some kind of cabinet structure would be necessary and appoints powerful leaders to key positions. How to handle relations with the Senate in their advise and consent role proves problematic for the new president.
