LAD #9 Jefferson's First Inaugural Address

In Thomas Jefferson's first inaugural address he acknowledges important key take aways. He first talks about how great the Constitution is and how he will honor it and use it as a guideline for his presidency. I found this surprising due to his Anti-Federalist beliefs. He then goes on to talk about how America will flourish now that they have a system to follow with guidelines to help it turn into one of the strongest nations. Jefferson continues by talking about the freedoms that will be granted in relations with other countries, religious justice and peace, and "equal and exact justice to all men." He tries to let the people know that he is here for them and to perform a job where he has their full support. He creates an honest, sincere image of a true leader and founding father to get the people of the United States to support him during his presidency.
