John Adams's Republic: The One, the Few, and the Many
Offers a comprehensive examination of John Adams's political thought and career. It traces his evolution from a provincial lawyer to a prominent figure in the American Revolution, highlighting his initial slow engagement with the Patriot cause and his later influential writings, such as Thoughts on Government and Novanglus. A central theme is Adams's nuanced and evolving views on aristocracy, democracy, and the proper structure of republican government, particularly his belief in a balanced system of "the One, the Few, and the Many." The source also details his diplomatic efforts in Europe and his controversial "Discourses on Davila", which led to public contention with Thomas Jefferson.
