"Caesar became the master of the Roman people and the senate under the pretense of supporting the democratic claims of the former against the aristocracy of the latter; Cromwell, in the character of protector of the liberties of the people, became the dictator of England, and Bolivar possessed himself of unlimited power with the title of his country's liberator. There is, on the contrary, no instance on record of an extensive and well-established republic being changed into an aristocracy." -Reflecting on history and how this republic has been able to function and stay a success over the years

-Written in reflection of what occurred and what may happen -Focus on Romans, who were suppose to have a republic but did not due to tyrants -Against Jackson, called him King Andrew I -Explains in detail the veto and president power because he believed that Jackson abused his power -Established Whig platform -Will not serve second term -Proclaimed to not attack the opposing political party but he did it in his address

=Legacy:= A fascinating individual who was ready to change the nation but due to his long inaugural address died in office.
