John Adams
John Adams (1735-1826) was one of the principal framers of the
American republic and the successor to Washington as president. Before
the Revolution he wrote some of the most important documents on the
nature of the British Constitution and the meaning of rights, sovereignty,
representation, and obligation. And it was Adams who, once the colonies
had declared independence, wrote equally important works on possible
forms of government in a quest to develop a science of politics for the
construction of a constitution for the proposed republic.
