Samuel Adams was a politician from the colony of Massachusetts, and was a member of the sons of liberty who protested against the king's taxes, and rule of the colonies.

Adams proposed the Declaration of Independence, and Jefferson wrote the 1st draft, which was changed through debate in the continental congress.

One change was altering Life Liberty and property to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness, so the slave owners would not try to use it as an excuse, as most of the founders was a member of the growing moving to abolish slavery.

Samuel Adams also drafted the Articles of Confederation, which was the original charter of our government before it was changed from a confederation to a federation of states.

Samuel Adams was one of the 1st to instill the idea of American Republicianism, in which America should be a Republic rather than a Monarchy, as which was popular in Europe.
