George Washington actually said...

"Let them persevere in their affectionate vigilance over that precious depository of American happiness, the Constitution of the United States."

"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..."

"Nothing can more promote the permanent welfare of the nation and nothing would be more grateful to our constituents."

"It is the duty of every citizen to contribute to the public good."
