Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson’s Inaugural Speech March 4,1801
Friends and Fellow Citizens: During the contest of opinion through which
we have passed, the animation of discussions and of exertions has
sometimes worn an aspect which might impose on strangers unused to
think freely and to speak and to write what they think; but this being now
decided by the voice of the nation, announced according to the rules of the
Constitution, all will, of course, arrange themselves under the will of the
law, and unite in common efforts for the common good. All, too, will bear in
mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases
to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority
possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate
would be oppression. Let us, then, fellow-citizens, unite with one heart and
one mind. Let us restore to social intercourse that harmony and affection
without which liberty and even life itself are but dreary things. And let us
reflect that, having banished from our land that religious intolerance under
which mankind so long bled and suffered, we have yet gained little if we
countenance a political intolerance as despotic, as wicked, and capable of
as bitter and bloody persecutions. During the throes and convulsions of the
ancient world, during the agonizing spasms of infuriated man, seeking
through blood and slaughter his long-lost liberty, it was not wonderful that
the agitation o f t he billows should reach even this distant and peaceful
shore; that this should be more felt and feared by some and less by others,
and should divide opinions as to measures of safety. But every difference
of opinion is not a difference of principle. We have called by different
names brethren of the same principle. We are all Republicans, we are all
Federalists. If there be any among us who would wish to dissolve this
Union or to change its republican form, let them stand undisturbed as
monuments of the safety with which error of opinion may be tolerated
where reason is left free to combat it. I know, indeed, that some honest
men fear that a republican government cannot be strong, that this
Government is not strong enough; but would the honest patriot, in the
fulltide of successful experiment, abandon a government which has so far
kept us free and firm on the theoretic and visionary fear that this
Government, the worlds best hope, may by possibility want energy to
preserve itself? I trust not. I believe this, on the contrary, the strongest
Government on earth. I believe it the only one where every man, at the call
of t he law, would fly to the standard of the law, and would meet invasions
of the public order as his own personal concern. Sometimes it is said that
man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then, be
trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the
forms of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question. Let us,
then, with courage and confidence pursue our own Federal and Republican
principles, our attachment to union and representative government.
