Jefferson's First Inauguration (1801)

Becoming a Country

Symbolizes the growth of American Society and its success.

Told people to think about how far heyve come as a country from such humble beginnings. They've stood up for themselves and have erected a strong Democratic government

"...And let us reflect that having banished from our land that religious ntolerance under which mankind so long bled and suffered, we have yet gained little if we countenance a policial intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of as bitter and bloody persecutions..."

Although we were not expected, politically, to succeed, we did. And we surprised the world when we became a functioning part of the international society. Now were one of the most powerful countries.

Bringing Parties Closer

This is connected to democracy by showcasing the things we practice currently, like being tolerant of people or grounps that may have different values or ideals than ourselves.

It signifies Jefferson "being the bigger person" and encouraging both parties to just be nice to each other and be tolerant of each other even though their policies arent exactly the same.

"..Let us then, citizens, unite with one heart and one mind..." "Let us then, with courage and confidence, pursue our own federal and republican principles..."

Due to all the "mud-slinging" that went on in the elction, Jefferson proposed that the parties be more cooperative and more friendly towards each other during and after elections.

Common Goal

Despite the conflicting views of both parties, Jefferson wanted to stress the fact that no matter the party, they all have one common goal, and that is to make the country the best it can be while still upholding the ideals of the constitution.

It connects to democracy by reiterating the ideal of a country coming together in order to spread tolerance and peace.

"We have called by different names brethren of the same principle.We are all Republicans, We are all Federalists."

It shows Jefferson's idea of, even though two parties don't see eye to eye, they can still achieve something great. That something, being our country.
