In this paper we use the Lie algebra of space-time symmetries to construct states which are solutions to the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation for systems with potentials $V(x,\tau)=g^{(2)}(\tau)x^2+g^{(1)}(\tau)x +g^{(0)}(\tau)$. We describe a set of number-operator eigenstates states, $\{\Psi_n(x,\tau)\}$, that form a complete set of states but which, however, are usually not energy eigenstates. From the extremal state, $\Psi_0$, and a displacement squeeze operator derived using the Lie symmetries, we construct squeezed states and compute expectation values for position and momentum as a function of time, $\tau$. We prove a general expression for the uncertainty relation for position and momentum in terms of the squeezing parameters. Specific examples, all corresponding to choices of $V(x,\tau)$ and having isomorphic Lie algebras, will be dealt with in the following paper (II).
