| Summary |
"State of the Union Addresses" by Andrew Jackson is a historical compilation that presents the addresses delivered by Jackson during his presidency in the early 19th century. The book covers Jackson's reflections and policy proposals, shedding light on the key issues surrounding governance, foreign relations, and internal affairs of the United States as they stood during his administration. The opening of the collection introduces Andrew Jackson's first State of the Union address delivered on December 8, 1829. In this address, he expresses his gratitude for the peace and prosperity of the nation while outlining issues related to foreign relations, particularly with England, France, and Spain. Jackson highlights the importance of maintaining peace and progress, discusses negotiating unsettled matters with these nations, and emphasizes the need for a constitutional amendment concerning the election of the President and Vice-President. He articulates his vision for a government that reflects the true will of the people, a theme he elaborates in subsequent addresses throughout his presidency.
