It evolved when Washington decided that he couldn't do everything himself, and he decided to create a few, select departments (Treasury, State, War, and then the Attorney General), and appoint people to them (Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Henry Knox, and Edmund Randolph). Over the years the departments have expanded as the government has changed.
