I always consider the settlement of Mi ciam konsideris la kreanton de
America with reverence and wonder, as Ameriko~ kun respekto kaw mirajo, kiel
the opening of a grand scene and design la malfermo de glora sceno kaw desegno

Jefferson looked upon the development Jefferson* sur'rigardis la evoluajon
of freedom under the Constitution as de libereco sub la Konstitucio kiel
'the world's best hope', and wrote that `la monda pley-bona espero',kaw skribis
what had been accomplishd in the United ke kio efektiv'ijis en la Unziga

It was not uncommon for the Founders to Ji estis komuna por la unza_Patro+

placed upon them to perform a mighty met'ijis sur zi fari granda

Alexander Hamilton emphasized the same Alexander_Hamilton* parolis la punkton
point as the constitution was presented sama kiel la konstitucio prezent'ijis
to the people for approvial. He wrote: al la popolo por aprobi. Li skribis:
It has been frequently remarked that Ji ofte rimark'ijis ke

Hamilton went on to say that if the Hamilton* sencesis diri ke SE la
people of the United States failed in popolo de la Unziga Stato+ malsukcesis
this mission, it would operate to `the en ci_tia celo, ji funkcius al `la
general misfortune of mankind'. John jenerala malbon'shanco de homaro'.
Adams later stated that if the people John_Adams* malfrue diris ke SE la

of the Founders, John Jay, thought he de la unza_Patro+, John_Jay*, pensis

approbation which was too obvious to be aprobo kii estis multe-observa
denied. He wrote: ne'iji. Li skribis:
With great pleasure I have often taken Kun granda plezuro mi ofte observis
notice that Providence has been pleased ke Dio'beno plach'ijis

He then concluded as follows: Li tiam finis kiel sekvi:

Jay's estimate of the unique blessing Jay* konjekto de la speciala beno

can prove correct. The founders felt povas pruvi korekta. La unza_Patro+
that ultimately their boundaries would sentis ke ia'tage zia limo+
