Address and Summarize
This speech is about George Washington retiring from office after serving 2 terms. He was looking forward to his retirement. He would have retired during his first term but he did not want to leave the United States in the bad state it was in. Overall, he was happy with what he saw. He truly thought the constitution would last and be influential in the future. The second part of his farewell is talking about how well the government is doing now. He addresses the fact the small and large areas, in the end will benefit each other. Especially, since each has resources and pieces that others are dependent on. The north and south were dependent on each other for trade and agriculture. In addition, the east and west help distribute and share products, that are not produces by the other. This shows the strength and security of the nation. He also believes that the unity of the states is essential. He specifically states that no matter what is happening the states must stay strong and unified as one. Those who do not listen to this Constitution should be considered a threat to the society. Washington also warns the possible political groups. They could result in riots and violence which could disturb the unity of the states.
