people shaking hands with the President

people bowing to the President

Answer: people bowing to the President

Explanation:

Thomas Jefferson was the third president of the United States of America, from 1801 to 1809. He is considered one of the founding fathers of the nation for being the main author of the Declaration of Independence of this country signed in 1776.

Before him, George Washington and John Adams were presidents and during their government there was a tradition in which people had to bow to other people as a way to greet them. In fact, this was a costume when the president was passing by, however not all people agreed with this tradition, because it reminded them of bowing to a King as if they were their property.

So, when Jefferson became president, he ended with this costume or tradition. Instead of that, he made people to shake his hands.
