Entering the presidency in full service to the American people, John Adams vowed: "Their Confidence, which has been the Chief Consolation of my Life, is too prescious and Sacred a deposit ever to be considered lightly." This volume of the Papers of John Adams charts the period from February 1797 to February 1798, exploring the United States' diplomatic rupture with France and the Adams administration's pivot toward the Quasi-War. Adams spent his first year in office struggling to uphold a form of neutrality that would shield American shipping and commerce from France's mounting attacks. The US government labored to shift money and resources for military preparedness. "I should hold myself guilty of a neglect of Duty, if I forebore to recommend that We Should make every exertion to protect our Commerce, and to place our Country in a Suitable posture of defence," he wrote. Adams kept careful watch over imperial tensions on the western frontiers, where Spain, France, Great Britain, Native nations, and the United States wrestled for local control. The second president faced a resurgence of yellow fever in Philadelphia, public debates in the press about his abilities, and an ambitious cabinet. From the opening moments of his inauguration to his headlong rush to heal the United States' relations with France, this volume reveals how John Adams evolved the American presidency.

""A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Against the Attack of M. Turgot"" is a political treatise written by John Adams in response to the criticisms made by French economist Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot on the newly-formed United States government. The book was first published in 1787 and is considered a seminal work of American political philosophy.In the book, Adams defends the American system of government, arguing that it is based on a unique combination of liberty and order. He refutes Turgot's claim that the American system is too decentralized and lacks a strong central government, arguing that the separation of powers and federalism are essential to preserving individual rights and preventing tyranny. Adams also defends the American Constitution, arguing that it is a product of the people's will and reflects their desire for a government that is both limited and effective.Throughout the book, Adams draws on his extensive knowledge of history and political theory to support his arguments. He cites examples from ancient Greece and Rome, as well as contemporary European governments, to show how the American system is superior. He also addresses specific criticisms of the American government, such as the lack of a hereditary aristocracy and the absence of a standing army, and provides compelling rebuttals.Overall, ""A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Against the Attack of M. Turgot"" is a powerful defense of American political institutions and a reminder of the principles that underlie them. It remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in American political philosophy and the history of the United States.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1794 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
