EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of American history - an autograph letter written by the first President of the United States, George Washington. The letter, addressed to Bushrod Washington, nephew of George Washington and later an associate justice on the U. S. Supreme Court, emphasizes a fundamental principle that has shaped the nation's democracy: "The power under the constitution will always be with the people". In this remarkable pen and ink manuscript, we witness not only Washington's eloquent handwriting but also his profound belief in empowering citizens. This sentiment resonates strongly even today as it reminds us of our collective responsibility to uphold democratic values. As we delve into this historical artifact, we are transported back to November 9th, 1787 - a time when America was still forging its path as a young nation. Through his correspondence with Bushrod Washington, George Washington reinforces the notion that true leadership lies in serving and safeguarding the interests of ordinary Americans. This print serves as a testament to both political significance and personal connection within American history. It symbolizes not only George Washington's role as statesman but also his enduring legacy as a leader who believed in placing power firmly in the hands of those he served. With its rich symbolism and historical context, this image invites us to reflect on our own roles as custodians of democracy while paying homage to one of America's most influential figures.
