The addresses span a significant period, reflecting Cleveland's two non-consecutive terms as President during a time of economic, social, and political transformation in America. The content offers a glimpse into the various issues that encompassed public policy, foreign relations, and domestic affairs, emphasizing Congress's vital role in legislative actions as well as the responsibilities of the presidency. At the start of the collection, Cleveland begins with the December 8, 1885 address, paying tribute to the recently deceased Vice-President, Thomas A. Hendricks. He lays out the constitutional obligation of the President to inform Congress about the state of the Union and to recommend necessary measures. The address outlines a variety of topics, including the United States' relations with foreign nations, the issues surrounding the construction of an interoceanic canal, and the significance of maintaining neutrality in foreign conflicts while advocating for the welfare of American citizens. Furthermore, Cleveland reveals his stance on contentious issues, demonstrating his commitment to balancing national interests with the moral imperatives of leadership. The opening sets a formal and reflective tone that will resonate throughout the series of addresses. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 37.0 (College-level).
