Thomas Jefferson's inaugural address was seemingly a little less confident than that of Washington's and Adam's. He spoke about the importance of the United States staying unified as a country and that as one nation they are much stronger. Talking more in depth about staying unified, Jefferson also stressed that the people follow the laws put in place to protect them, and in doing so this would strengthen the unity amongst the people. Jefferson throughout his speech mentioned the implementing militia's, which I believe is important because it could be seen as the direct foundation for the creation of police. Another part of this speech was the promotion, from Jefferson to the people, to continue to help benefit the economy through trade and commerce. He would go on to reassure the people of his readiness to take on the presidential seat.
