\u201c\u2026away back in my childhood, the earliest days of my being able to read, I got hold of a small book\u2026[The Life of Washington]. I remember all the accounts there given of the battle fields and struggles for the liberties of the country, and none fixed themselves upon my imagination so deeply as the struggle here at Trenton, New-Jersey. The crossing of the river; the contest with the Hessians; the great hardships endured at that time, all fixed themselves on my memory more than any single revolutionary event; and you all know, for you have all been boys, how these early impressions last longer than any others. I recollect thinking then, boy even though I was, that there must have been something more than common that those men struggled for; that something even more than National Independence; that something that held out a great promise to all the people of the world to all time to come; I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n-Address to the New Jersey Senate, February 21, 1861<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The crowning point of the 18th century was the introduction of the Constitution of the United States of America. Our constitution was prepared out of a 150 year experience in Christian Self- and Civil Government. Three leaders of our nation played an important role in the writing and propagating of the U.S. Constitution: George Washington, Father of the Constitution; James Madison, Architect of the Constitution; and Alexander Hamilton, Educator of the Constitution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet George Washington<\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

George Washington grew up in the English colony of Virginia. He was tall and strong, fair in judgment, and respected by his friends as a good leader. As he grew older, George saw how England took advantage of the American colonies\u2014and he didn’t like it. When the colonies declared their independence, George was chosen to lead their army as its general. And when the colonies won their freedom, George was elected to lead the new nation as its first president.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
