I shall carry it with me to my grave, as a strong incitement to unceasing vows that Heaven may continue to you the choicest tokens of its beneficence; that your Union and brother affection may be perpetual; that the free Constitution, which is the work of your hands, may be sacredly maintained; that its Administration in every department may be stamped with Wisdom and Virtue; that, in fine, the happiness of the people of these States, under the auspices of liberty, may be complete by so careful and preservative and so prudent a use of this blessing as will acquire to them the glory of recommeding it to the applause, the affection, the adoption of every nation which is yet a stranger to it.
George Washington's Resignation Address:
No worries. Let them earn it.
A quote from Geo Washington is never out of place.I note he said the people of these states...there were no citizens of the United States,except they be the states themselves.People were citizens of the state in which they resided.
What history are you reading? Washington didn't resign.
