Commerce with all nations, alliance with none – Thomas Jefferson
Washington presided on a low rostrum in the Assembly Hall (where the Declaration of Independence had been approved) from his “rising sun chair.” The top of the chair showed half a sun with two eyes and a nose and thirteen rays like hair. Above it on a stem hung a pyramid-shaped plant. The whole is a Templar image. As the delegates sign the new Constitution, Benjamin Franklin told them that the sun on Washington’s chair was rising, not setting on the new union – Nicholas Hagger (The Secret History of the West)
