A quote from George Washington

If they have real grievances redress them, if possible; or acknowledge the justice of them, and your inability to do it at the moment. If they have not, employ the force of government against them at once.

— A letter to Richard Henry Lee regarding Shays's Rebellion. [October 31, 1786]
