Washington’s address in New York City addressed national defense, foreign policy and more.
America’s first president George Washington addressed the assembled Congress with the first State of the Union on this day in history, Jan. 8, 1790.
This decision followed the state’s initial rejection of the Constitution in 1788 for not including a bill of rights. “To be prepared for war is one of the most effectual means of preserving peace,” Washington said, according to Mountvernon.org. Washington said that achieving this would require a federal post office, post roads and a public education system, which he explained would bolster the nation in its new Constitution.“Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness,” the president said in his address.
