Just an FYI, the DOJ was created in the 1870s. The framers did create the Attorney General position in 1789 (with the Judiciary Act that created the Federal Court system) but it was a prosecution only position.

the DOJ was created in the 1870sIt's just an extension of the Attorney General's office.
I could also say the Framers started a DOD, only it was the Secretariat of War then.
