Washington followed the Constitution:
Article 4 section 4
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
'On Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive' is the STATE governments, not the federal one.
The Governor of Pennsylvania at the time was Thomas Mifflin.
Western Pennsylvania rebelled against the Federal excise tax on whiskey in 1794. Never having fully trusted George Washington, Mifflin refused, when asked by President Washington to call out the Pennsylvania militia to enforce this Federal law. Mifflin asserted that a United States president had no authority to order a state governor to use state militia for any purpose during peacetime and in the absence of any local request for assistance. Mifflin's point was established, setting a precedent that is still honored.

Even Alexander Hamilton acknowledged Mifflin could either allow the federal troops into the state or leave the Compact:
A proclamation was issued by the President, commanding the insurgents to disperse, while quotas of militia were called for from Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, and New Jersey. These Governor Mifflin, of Pennsylvania, who seemed to be in sympathy with the insurgents, hesitated to call out. He was, however, forced either to do so, or to break with the central government, and the militia volunteered in greater numbers than were wanted, even members of the "Society of Friends" joining the force.

You really should stop regurgitating the same pablum most children are spoon-fed via the public school system and try learning a bit of history for yourself.
MamaTexan...you are the BOMB! Way to go with HISTORICAL FACTS. But never you mind, fortheDeclaration will have no problem shooting you and your fellow Texans should you decide to voluntarily withdraw from the Union.
All Lincolnians have no problem forcing their unconstitutional will by using national government troops and shooting people like me...and probably you MamaTexan

I suspect he will not return, he lost the debate in facts.
Washington did follow the Constitution and put down the Whisky rebellion by force (or the threat of force)
Jackson threatened the same against South Carolina.
Madison stated that no State had a right to secede from the Union.
No State has any right to ignore Federal laws which are for the benefit of all the States.
Nor, does any State have a right to steal weapons, which all of the States paid for.
Lincoln didn't order the State Militia, he asked for volunteers.
Maybe you need to follow the context of the precedent a little more closely.
If the US cannot interfere in any state without approval of its legislature or executive, how then can it guarantee each state a republican form of government? That would seem to require, by definition, the federal government being able to override a state government that attempted to set up a monarchy or oligarchy.
The part about application of the legislature or executive, is related to domestic violence within the state, not to the preceding clauses about guaranteeing a republican form of government, or protecting against invasion.
