Jefferson's Inagural Address

"Let us then, fellow citizens, unite with one heart and one mind..."

There should be unity between the political parties because although we are different we all have similar necessities

We need to be able to comprimise together and make sure we can work together, so that our country and government can strive. We don't want our country to fall apart and break out into war. We want a peaceful exchange of power from party to party

In American Democracy, there have been many instances where the president is a different party than congress, but they nned to work together so that they can do things to benefit the public good

"A wise and frugal government... the sum of a good government...this is neccessary to close the circle of our felicities

Jefferson says that the governmen should be wise and frugal. A government does not need to be expensive with their decisions. Government includes the protection pursuit of happiness, support of industry, protecting social mobility, religious freedom and equality and a wise and frugal government.

This concept is still used today because a good government is smart and wise with its money.

The American Democracy is seen as a good government, therefore, it is wise and frugal, and has the characteristics a government should.

"It is proper thst that you should understand what I deem the essential principles of our government."

Jefferson is giving a guidline to the ideal government. His administration will guide him to these priniciples so that the government will benefit the public good.

Jefferson is laying out the principles that every administration should live by, not just his. These are guidlines for a government to follow.
