From John Quincy Adams' First Inaugural Address, March 4. 1825:
Of the two great political parties which have divided the opinions and feelings of our country, the candid and the just will now admit that both have contributed splendid talents, spotless integrity, ardent patriotism, and disinterested sacrifices to the formation and administration of this Government, and that both have required a liberal indulgence for a portion of human infirmity and error.
From Andrew Jackson's First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1829:
Considering standing armies as dangerous to free governments in time of peace, I shall not seek to enlarge our present establishment, nor disregard that salutary lesson of political
experience which teaches that the military should be held subordinate to the civil power.
From Andrew Jackson's Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1833:
To this end it becomes the duty of all to yield a ready and patriotic submission to the laws constitutionally enacted, and thereby promote and strengthen a proper confidence in those institutions of the several States and of the United States which the people themselves have ordained for their own government.
