The United States enjoy a scene of prosperity and tranquility under the new government that could hardly have been hoped for.
~ George Washington, July 19, 1791 (from a letter to Catherine Macaulay Graham)
Tranquility reigns among the people with that disposition towards the general government which is likely to preserve it ... Our public credit stands on that [high] ground which three years ago it would have been considered as a species of madness to have foretold.
~ George Washington, July 20, 1791 (from a letter to David Humphreys)
Note the dates; then think on our Progressive "friends" who refer to the Constitution as a dusty old document ... and want to go beyond it, somehow.
Do you understand now?
