Best Answer

While Adams was president there was an effort made to discredit his presidency. One of the major rifts between Adams and Jefferson was that Jefferson wanted the U.S. to get involved in the French Revolution because France helped out the colonists in their fight for independence. Adams felt that the U.S. was not prepared to go to war so soon after the revolution and that France's revolution was not a fight for liberty. Another issue was that Adams favored a strong federal government while Jefferson preferred having more of a loose confederacy instead of power being concentrated in one place with the federal government having authority over state and local governments. Jefferson's arguments basically was favored by more people since they felt that a federal government with too much power over state government would not be too dissimilar from what they had before the revolution. Another issue was one of personality, Adams was a man with a very bad temper who always seemed to portray himself as a victim, on a personal level he was less likable then Jefferson.
