The precedent-setting First Federal Congress fleshed out the governmental structure provided for in the Constitution and ensured the new government's stability. This mini-edition presents documents relating to establishing the first three executive departments, and in particular, the critically important constitutional debate over the power of removal of executive branch officials.
