Language plays a crucial role in the development of power. Famous personalities in the United States use rhetorical devices to emphasize a specific point and make it clear to the audience. President Thomas Jefferson is a Democratic-Republican and won the election of 1800. In 1801 he presented his inauguration speech and was significant because it was the first time in the history when the power shifted from one party to the other. Martin Luther King, Jr. served as an American minister and played an active role in the civil rights movement. John F. Kennedy delivered his speech during his inauguration in order to develop relations with the Soviet Union and end Cold War.

The Emergency Banking Act was proposed, developed and signed in a signal day on March 9, 1933. This newly enacted law was “drawn up under pressure and passed promptly in order to facilitate the reopening of the nation’s banks“(Preston, 585). The Emergency Banking Act stated that there will be “12 Federal Reserve banks” that will be issuing additional currency to people with good assets and the banks that will be reopened will

In 1933 President Franklin D. Roosevelt is taking the office from Herbert Hoover the president when The Great Depression began its destruction on America. Herbert Hoover was often thought of as one of the main reason for the Depression for he saw it as “a passing incident in our national lives” (New Deal). He did very little to help the people and believed that the situation “wasn’t the federal government's job to try and resolve.” A majority of American workforce is now unemployed when President Franklin D. Roosevelt takes office. President Roosevelt's inaugural speech is his way of expressing his goals as the new leader to the American people. Roosevelt is stuck in a situation where many of the American people already feel neglected because of Hoover’s lack of leadership. In Roosevelt’s speech he uses many techniques to make his claim. His claim being that the American people can trust that he is going to better their situations and America altogether.

Imagine that anxious feeling you get when you are about to give a speech. You are shaking, sweating, nervous, and despite the countless hours of preparation, you still are getting worked up over presenting to your class. Now, imagine finding out at the last moment that you prepared your speech for the wrong topic and are forced to present a new speech, with little to no preparation at all. This is a situation Ronald Reagan faced (to a much extremer extent) in his famous “White House Address to the Nation,” speech on January 28th, 1986, following the tragic results of the Challenger disaster.

President John F. Kennedy, in his inaugural address on January 1961, suggests that the United States must unify and act upon injustices in the country. He supports this claim by first calling out to countries around the world, then speaking to the citizens of America and asking them to take action, and finally by creating a sense of patriotism to help connect the people to their country. Because he is the youngest president, Kennedy adopts a tone of excitement and energy for his younger audience, but a tone of maturity and authority for his older audience members.

In 1980 America was faced with an economic crisis for the ages and they chose Ronald Reagan to deal with it. By the end of Jimmy Carter’s presidency the interest rate was 15.26 percent, inflation was at 12.5 percent and unemployment at 7.1 percent and these rates were still on the rise.[1] Coupled with an economy that was not growing, these rates pushed the United States into a recession. Due to the current situation President Jimmy Carter had put us in, Ronald Reagan was elected in a landslide victory and at 69 he was the oldest elected president. Reagan was faced with a task comparable to Franklin Roosevelt and his inaugural address needed to reestablish confidence in the American economy. As well as the economic crisis, Reagan was

Abraham Lincoln and Barack Obama, born one hundred fifty two years apart, are two of the most significant individuals of their time. Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in a log cabin in Hardin County, Kentucky. His father, Tom, worked as a carpenter while his mother, Nancy, stayed home with Abraham and their two other children, Sarah and Thomas. The family later moved to Indiana where the land was fertile and there were people who encouraged the antislavery movement. Lincoln’s father was against slavery and this value would continue with Lincoln throughout his presidency. Before entering into politics, he attempted various career choices in New Salem. One of these actually stuck with him and in 1832, he ran for Illinois Legislature but was defeated. This did not stop him, though, and two years later he ran again. This time he was elected into the Whig party and it acted as the beginning of Lincoln’s political career but it was not until 1860 when he decided to run for presidency. In 1861 he became the sixteenth president of the United States.

With the 2016 election in full swing, millions of Americans have locked in their party of choice as November 8th approaches. The two candidates and the conversation surrounding them this year have never been more polarizing: Republican vs. Democrat, businessman against politician, man facing woman, and high-energy in contrast to calm and collected. Eventually, one will be chosen to hold the highest office in the country, and will give a speech, known as an inaugural address to talk about their intentions as president of the US. This essay will focus on two specific addresses, one from Ronald Reagan, and the other from Barack Obama. Even though inaugural addresses are somewhat far apart in the time each was given and who was presenting them, they are very similar in how they

In arguably one of the most powerful of American political addresses ever given, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt argues that, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself’, and that in order to restore America to its pre-depression state, the American people must believe that he can lead them through the Great Depression, so long as they appoint him the wartime executive powers required to handle the situation effectively. Roosevelt emphasizes the need for action through the use of biblical allusions and referring to himself as the prophet is this time of need, taking the role of Jesus, declaring, “The money changers have fled from their high seats in the temple of our civilization. We may now restore that temple to the ancient truths.” ; he plays upon the social needs as well as builds up his credibility with the audience by stating his plan to combat the depression, “broad Executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.” ; and cements his argument with his claims of value and policy, exposing the flaws of pre-depression American society, and eventually calling for the change he believes necessary to force America out of the depression, “we apply social values more noble than mere monetary profit.”. Franklin Delano Roosevelt goes to such lengths to earn the support of his fellow Americans in order to unite the entire country in
