LAD #9: Jefferson's First Inaugural Address

Summary:

Thomas Jefferson is appreciative of being elected and being given such a responsibility. He encourages the Constitution to remain a basis for freedom and policies for Americans. He states how the majority will prevail, but the minority must be given equal respect and gratitude. Like other national leaders, he enforces the concept of national unity. Jefferson supports the fact that Americans have an opportunity to create and live their own free lives in a blossoming nation. He stated how government holds the duty of protecting our rights and civil liberties. Jefferson ends the address by admitting that every citizen will not be satisfied with his policies, but he will do his best to provide for the nation.
