According to John Adams the role of government is to help the common good of the people. He states, " the happiness of the people is the purpose of government and should serve the largest number and the true idea of a republic is an empire of laws and not men." Washington stated that the " virtue or morality is necessary Spring of popular government and human rights can only be assured among virtuous people." Franklin added to this idea by saying that " only virtuous people are capable of freedom."

What were two of john Adams important government jobs?
John Adams was one of America's founding fathers and is remembered best for his job as US president, being the second US president. He also served as the first US vice president which helped prepare him to be later the US President. It should be remembered that the entire government system was new. So unlike today, where some do not believe the job of vice president is important, back in 1792, it was an important position.
