The one who didn't threaten to put down with military force an anti-tax protest.
Washington was trying to shut up the uppity farmers who didn't like being taxed to death for the sake of the expansion of wage labor, which they regarded as the largest threat to their livelihoods (and for good reason, of course). 'Non-violent protest' has never resulted in significant change in the 'new American political system' that came into being after the Coup of 1789. In every instance in which there have been revolutionary changes, force or the threat of it's use has driven societal change.
