LAD #9: Jefferson's First Inaugural Address

Jefferson's First Inaugural Address Summary

Jefferson is grateful that he was elected and humbled by the "magnitude of the undertaking." The people of America are unified against tyranny, and the differences between Federalists and Republicans are matters of opinion, not of principle. America has the resources needed for an enlightened happiness. Jefferson then defines the government, as briefly as he can, to clarify his views. He asks the public to collaborate with him, admitting that he wasn't as good as Washington, but promising that he will do his best.
