State Of The Union Addresses

""State of the Union Addresses"" is a collection of speeches given by the first President of the United States, George Washington. The book includes all of his annual addresses to Congress, from 1790 to 1796. In these speeches, Washington discusses the state of the nation, its progress, challenges, and opportunities. He also outlines his vision for the future of the country and proposes policies to achieve it. The book provides an insight into the mind of one of the most important figures in American history and his views on issues such as foreign relations, domestic affairs, and the role of government in society. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the early years of the United States and the principles on which it was founded.On this call, momentous in the extreme, I sought and weighted what might best subdue the crisis. On the one hand the judiciary was pronounced to be stripped of its capacity to enforce the laws; crimes which reached the very existence of social order were perpetrated without control; the friends of Government were insulted, abused, and overawed into silence or an apparent acquiescence; and to yield to the treasonable fury of so small a portion of the United States would be to violate the fundamental principle of our Constitution, which enjoins that the will of the majority shall prevail. On the other, to array citizen against citizen, to publish the dishonor of such excesses, to encounter the expense and other embarrassments of so distant an expedition, were steps too delicate, too closely interwoven with many affecting considerations, to be lightly adopted.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
