What did Adams like about Jefferson's draft of the declaration?
Every thing points that Adams liked the final draft of the document and that he supported the idea .We do know that Adams was all ready on 23 committees and in the same week was assigned to 3 more. There was a political advantage in having the declaration written by a Virginian for the same reason it was politically smart to have Washington, a Virginian in command of the army. Adams stated that Jefferson was the best choice for the task and that he had a "peculiar felicity of expression." It is Adams that introduced the declaration of independence to Congress on July 1, 1776. No notes or transcription of his statements remain but what remained was the force of Adams himself as he spoke about the matter of Independence. Jefferson writes that Adams was "not graceful nor elegant nor remarkably fluent but spoke with a power of thought and expression that moved us from our seats."
What policy did Washington follow toward foreign nations?
When Adams entered office, he realized that he needed to protect Washington's policy of staying out of the French and British war. Because the French helped secure American independence from Britain, they had greater popularity with America. After the Jay Treaty, the French became angry and began seizing American merchant ships that were trading with the British in what became known as the "Quasi-War." Adams sent a commission to negotiate an understanding with France. However, Adams urged the Congress to augment the navy and army in case of diplomatic failure. ~Brianna Stokes~
