Inauguration

An inauguration is a formal ceremony that marks the beginning of a person's term in a public office, such as the presidency. It typically involves official rituals, speeches, and sometimes the swearing-in of the official, symbolizing their assumption of responsibilities and duties. The ceremony often includes national symbols like flags and an oath of office to ensure the individual commits to uphold the laws and values of the country. Inaugurations serve to formally introduce leadership changes to the public and reaffirm the legitimacy of the new officeholder.
