LAD #7:Jefferson's Inaugural Address

On March 4th, 1804, the third President of the United States of America, Thomas Jeffereson, delivered his inaugural address to the people of the nation. In his address, Jefferson acknowledged the imense responsibility associated with a position of such esteem. In a very humble manner, Jefferson notes that the position may be more than he is qualified for, yet he is tremendously grateful for the opportunity to lead such a aspiring country. Jefferson continues on to say that although joining together to stand behind his presidency is what he wants from the people, differences in political views are alright. The differences amongst the Federalists and the Republicans seem less trivial becuase on a broader range, both agree on common principles. Furthermore, in his address, Jefferson notes the superiority of the American government and his confidence behind it. He states that such issues as equality, justice, neutrality, and peace with all nations without alliances, are going to help set the standard for his administration. In conclusion, Jefferson assures the people of the nation that he is ready for this task ahead. Through his previous political experience, he is prepared for the task and will put for his best effort to help lead the country.
