1. Washington argues for national unity when he says that the federal government is “a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence” and supports citizens’ political safety and wealth. He extols the virtues of the Constitution, including its balance of governmental powers and its flexibility to be amended. (Paragraphs 8, 15)
2. Washington’s main purpose is “to offer to your solemn contemplation, and to recommend to your frequent review, some sentiments which are the result of much reflection, of no inconsiderable observation, and which appear to me all important to the permanency of your felicity as a people.” (Paragraph 6)
