LAD #28: Wilson's First Inaugural

From the very start of his first inaugural, Wilson advocates that change has occurred.  The Government has taken a turn to become predominately democratic.  However, this doesn't mean that an extreme shift of ideals will accompany the shift of political affiliation.  Better yet, a new order has come to appropriate the aspect of things that have grown to become known and familiar.  Numerous troubles were threatening the teetering nation then (mostly involving conflicts against the Progressive Platform that Teddy Roosevelt and Taft efficiently obliged to.  Therefore, Wilson goes on to praise the moral and mental strength of the American nation -- before the list of problems he demands must be addressed (among them: conserving natural resources).  Hence, a mentality was created by every human or generation themselves, a biased and uncontrollable mentality.  On the contrary, Wilson claims that justice should be the overall goal of the government.  First it must rectify the countless wrongs of industrialization (tariffs and corruptness), respect towards the rights of labor, and agricultural gratification.  From Wilson's perspective, the government has become an instrument to ensure the equality of society.  Yet, even doing this, Wilson still remains at ease and thoughtful with his asking for the aid of humanity -- to modify the economic domination one step at a time.
