Biography

John Adams was a bulldog for independence, a man of unwavering principle and fierce intellect. While he was abroad serving as a diplomat during the Constitutional Convention, his influential writings, particularly his 'Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America,' provided a powerful comparative analysis of republican government that armed the delegates with historical knowledge. As the second President, he navigated the nation through treacherous international waters, preserving the young republic.
