Abstract
- As the chief article of America's civil religion, the presidential Inaugural Addresses serve as interesting four-year snapshots of America's political values. Because the substance and emphases of the addresses have changed substantially over time, they also reveal historically significant shifts in American political thought. In this paper I examine how the concept of citizenship is treated in the Inaugural Addresses, especially how the concept of citizenship has changed over time. I will examine both the emphasis of citizenship together with its attendant privileges and responsibilities as well as issues closely related to citizenship such as immigration and racial integration. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
