Thomas Jefferson sought a simple inauguration to reflect his belief in the principles of democracy and to distance himself from the pomp and ceremony associated with monarchy. He wanted to emphasize the importance of the people over the office, showcasing humility and accessibility. By opting for a modest celebration, Jefferson aimed to convey that the presidency was a service to the citizens rather than a position of elite privilege. This approach aligned with his vision of a more egalitarian society.

Simple question, was she or was she not at the Inauguration.
When Thomas Jefferson was inaugurated, he vetoed traditions and formal ceremonies of bowing, and instead he insisted on a casual inauguration. This showed that he wanted change in America, and that he wanted to begin new traditions, and get rid of formal ceremonies. I hope I helped!! :) -Shelby Nameless
