Explanation:

Franklin Roosevelt's First Inaugural Address was delivered in 1933. In it, Roosevelt talks about the situation of the nation, the fact that he was elected to lead it, and the actions he believes should take priority in his government. He also tells us that he believes an ethical and philosophical change is not enough, but that a change in action is needed to. He claims that the nation demands it in the following line:
