TA on the whiskey rebellion.

Who is writing: The President of the United States, George Washington.

Who is the audience: The people of the United States. It is a written proclamation for the people.

Who do the writers represent: George Washington represents the government of the United States.

what is being argued/requested: A lot is being said, at first it talks about how the government is trying to deter those who might be afraid to accept government jobs because they are afraid that people might injure their property or body. Then it goes on talking about making sure that people don't commit treason because it just messing things up. After that it lays down how and when militias can be made according to the government of the United States. A lot of this document is saying what power the President has and what power he does not have, and that the people need to listen to his decisions about the militia and things of that nature. Then at the end it is saying that everyone needs to abide by the laws, by law, and it gave George Washington's testimony.

How is it being said: It is being said is a pretty high manner, like he is in a place of authority. Which he respectively is, but I noticed that its pretty apparent how he feels about his position. But it is not being rude or anything towards the people of the U.S., its just clearly laying down the laws and pretty much trying to get people to follow what he says and give him power over the militia. The people liked Washington in his time, so there shouldn't be much problem with following him but he is just making sure.

Justification: It is justified because the President, George Washington, signed it. He says in the last paragraph, "In testimony whereof I have caused the seal of the United States of America to be affixed t these presents, and signed the same with my hand." This shows that its a legitimate document.
