George Washington on Bill of Rights

[Daniel Hoffman]

Washington strongly opposed the insistence on amendments as
preconditions for ratification; privately expressed general sympathy
with what advocates of the Bill were contending for; and declined to
make a recommendation either way in his first annual message to
congress.  See Schwartz, The Bill of Rights, A Documentary History, II:
985-88, 1011-12.
