State Of The Union Addresses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162685359)

""State of the Union Addresses"" is a collection of speeches delivered by George Washington, the first President of the United States, to the United States Congress. These speeches were given annually between 1790 and 1796, and they provided a comprehensive overview of the state of the nation at the time. In these speeches, Washington discussed a range of topics, including foreign relations, domestic policy, and the economy. He also made recommendations for legislative action and highlighted the accomplishments of his administration. This book provides a unique insight into the early years of the United States and the challenges faced by the nation during its formative years. It is a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the history of the United States.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
