The “cabinet” I presume you are asking about is the president’s federal cabinet, which is an unofficial term for the executive members of his various departments. Each president selects his own cabinet, with the advice and consent of the Senate.

There has always been a cabinet, but the cabinet of each president changes multiple times. As often as he replaces the department heads.

The cabinet consists of the Departments of State, treasury, defense, education, etc. Over time the cabinet has grown, with the most recent addition of the depar. of homeland security.

The answer is this: there has always been a cabinet. But the people in the cabinet have constantly changed. And the names and number of departments that compose the cabinet have changed from Washington’s time to ours.
