In his address Washington:

[Praises] the benefits of the federal government. "The unity of government...is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence...of your

tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize."

Warns against the political party system. “I have already [told] you the danger of political parties in the state, with particular reference to the founding of them on geographical [differences]. Let me now take a more [complete] view, and warn you

in the most solemn manner against the [destructive] effects of the spirit of party, generally.”

Emphasizes the importance of education. “Promote, then, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general [spreading] of knowledge… As a structure of a government gives force to public opinion, it is essential that public

opinion should be enlightened…”Warns against permanent foreign alliances. "It is our true policy to steer clear

of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world... There can be no greater error than to expect, or calculate upon real favors from nation to nation…

The duty of holding a neutral conduct may be inferred."Warns against an over-powerful military. "...avoid the necessity of those overgrown military establishments, which, under any form of government, are inauspicious to liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to

Republican Liberty."
