Thomas Jefferson was sworn in as the third President of the United States on March 4, 1801. His inauguration marked a pivotal moment in American history as it represented the first transfer of power between political parties. Jefferson, a Democratic-Republican, succeeded John Adams, a Federalist, in the presidential office.
Jefferson's presidency is notable for its emphasis on limited government, reducing federal spending, and his vision of an agrarian republic. His first term began in 1801, and he was re-elected to a second term, serving from 1801 to 1809.
