Notes: TJ in his First Inaugural typified the position of the "old Republicans," in his Second Inaugural he typified the position of the "new Republicans" who were dominant after 1815. Although not interested in the normal procedures of day to day administration, TJ was "as skillful as his Federalist predecessors in using administrative means for far-reaching political ends." His first term was marked by successful innovations in policy and administration, but his second ended in the disaster of the Embargo. TJ's "significance in American history flows much less from his contribution to the art of administration than from his convictions about democracy."
