Thomas Jefferson was more popular than John Adams. Adams was a difficult person to get along with. He clung to notions that government should be run by the elite, aristocratic classes even though the colonies had recently won their independence from Great Britain and its monarchy. He was very formal and did not trust the common man. Adams served only one term as president. When he ran for the second term, he lost to Jefferson and left Washington before Jefferson was sworn in. During his term as president, criticism of him was so strong, he had Congress pass the Alien and Secition Act. This law gave him power to arrest anyone speaking against the government and to expel anynon-American person from the country if that person spole ill of him.
