Thomas Jefferson
The Second President of the United States of America |
Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated as the second president of the United States in 1801. He was very modest in the beginning and really tried to get the people to understand that they are "All in this together." Jefferson expresses the importance of the Constitution, which, although he finally agreed to it, he was an anti-federalists prior. This made Americans feel like they should trust, and follow the constitution, because their own president is representing it. He continues to say that although he doesn't have all of the talents needed, the constitution and the people will continue to empower the "rising nation." He believes that the constitution as well as the citizens will help guide america to power, as well as make it the thriving nation it will soon become. He encourages the people to trust the new Federal Government for it is not only stronger than ever, but it does give the individuals the natural rights they desire and deserve. Jefferson continues to say that the people must always trust the government for it is being run by the people, as well as only hopes to benefit the people. Jefferson truly believes that if the people trust the government, then he will be able to work with the governed to his fullest potential. Jefferson closes by restating the importance of working together, which will allow "Infinite Power" to the people, that will eventually lead to "...Peace and prosperity."
