John Adams (1735-1826) was a highly educated and enlightened lawyer
who became a central figure in the American Revolution. As a
political theorist he influenced the constitutions of the former
British colonies in America, and he is regarded, with Jefferson, as
the father of the United States Constitution. First published in
1850-6, this collection brings together Adams' major writings.
Given their influence not only on the United States, but also on
other republics, Adams' works rank among the most important
political writings of their time. Volume 9 focuses on foreign
affairs, and includes letters that shed light on Adams' policy of
strengthening the US Navy in light of the threat from France. Among
the letters and speeches, one private letter airs his
disappointment at the inability of politicians to live up to their
promises.
