Ulysses S. Grant: First Inaugural Address

( 1869 ) Commentary by Brooks D. Simpson, Arizona State University
  • “I shall on all subjects have a policy to recommend, but none to enforce against the will of the people. Laws are to govern all alike—those opposed as well as those who favor them. I know no method to secure the repeal of bad or obnoxious laws so effective as their stringent execution.” - First Inaugural Address
