How Did John Quincy Adams Try And Fail

Everything from paperwork and all the necessary procedures were set for the appointment of William Marbury. But President Adam’s secretary, John Marshall did not deliver the commission in time before Thomas Jefferson became president. During Jefferson Presidency he ordered his secretary James Madison not to deliver the commissions and those men whose commissions were not delivered ended up suing Madison.

Adams only had a one year term as president, but before he was president he was Washington’s vice president. After his one year term he moved to Massachusetts, and he lost his reelection to his vice president Thomas Jefferson. Adams was one of the men that signed the Declaration of Independence. Adams was one of the only president of the first five to not own any slaves. He was against slavery, but he was also against abolition.

John Adams was born on October 30, 1735, on the family farm in the North Precinct of Braintree, Massachusetts. He was the second of five children to his parents John and Susanna Boylston Adams. John's father was his role model because he wasn't only a farmer by trade, but he also took on many other time consuming jobs around the community to help others. Everyone in his hometown in some way dealt with him because he owned the titles of: the deacon of the church, selectman, tax collector, constable, and the lieutenant of the militia. John's mother was from a very wealthy Boston family, but infamous for having a bad temper. She remarried in 1766 following the death of John's father five years earlier due to the flu epidemic. John

In Adams cabinet, all the members were federalists. This caused Adams to be surrounded by people that only shared his opinion. Adams therefore made many poor decisions due to the lack of diversity in his cabinet, showing that he did not promote the founding principle of equality. Another example of the low equality during Adams’s term was the Alien & Sedition acts as a whole. The acts were specifically geared to get rid of French immigrants during the Quasi war. This was not only unconstitutional, it was not equal to America, where anybody of any race, religion, or nationality was accepted as long as you followed the rules. Adams took away the equality for a lot of immigrants unfairly, proving his lack of equality, and Adams not following of the founding

When the year of 1807 came around, the way that America elected a president changed. In previous elections, only the rich men were able to vote which as a result whoever promised more the wealth was elected for president. When the common man was able to vote in 1807, the type of candidate to win the election change. As seen in the election of 1828 the person who was more relatable to the people, won because the common man was able to vote and so they used that opportunity and elected whoever they thought was going to help them. Overall the people preferred Jackson over Adams because Jackson was able to relate to the people better, and because he was a symbol of the American dream.

The United States refused to pay because the money owed to the previous government, as similar to the US. France had, had its own revolutionary wars and overthrew the old monarchy ending in 1799. Since France had a new government, the United States felt no need to pay off old debt to the French First Republic. Now the French were not happy about this, so they started to attack American trade ships, which is called impressment. This was a way to help aid in their war with Britain. With the France navy oppressed so many of the US’s trade ships, this could have easily led to open war between to the two

Highlighting John’s chance of facing adversity and dealing with temptation, Adams suggest that John might develop a “great character” if he embraced the difficulties he would face in Paris. For further support adams allude to historical figures who have prospered from “contending with difficulties”. Identifying potential benefits of listening to her advice convinces John Quincy that following his guidance is both good for him now as well as beneficial in the
