Morsi is the first freely elected President in Egyptian history.
He belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, a party which until recently had been banned in the country.
The new President has very little actual power, as the military still controls all decisions until a constitution can be written.
In his inaugural, President Morsi took a conciliatory tone with the military, upsetting some supporters, but he also encouraged the military to speed the process towards establishing the rest of the new government.
Previously Morsi had been one of the most vocal opponents of any military involvement.
