Our Union Is Now Complete; Our Constitution

The Eyes Of Mankind Will Be Upon You To See Whether The Government, Which Is Now More Popular Than It Has Been For Many Years Past, Will Be Productive Of More Virtue Moral And Political. We May Look Up To Armies For Our Defense, But Virtue Is Our Best Security. It Is Not Possible That Any State Should Long Remain Free, Where Virtue Is Not Supremely Honored.

It Requires Time To Bring Honest Men To Think & Determine Alike Even In Important Matters. Mankind Are Governed More By Their Feelings Than By Reason.

A Nation Of Shopkeepers Are Very Seldom So Disinterested.

What Has Commonly Been Called Rebellion Has More Often Been Nothing But A Manly And Glorious Struggle In Opposition To The Lawless Power Of Rebellious Kings And Princes.

Crouch Down And Lick The Hands Which Feed You. May Your Chains Sit Lightly Upon You, And May Posterity Forget That You Were Our Countrymen!
