He believed in representative government.
He believed in checks and balances
He believed in God, not as far fetched as it sounds, one of the principle things which divided Jefferson from Abigail in particular, was the fact that he did not. Adams and Jefferson debated this issue many times, since Adams believed a belief in God essential to a moral nation.
"The wooden walls shall stand", a quote from classical Greece about the prophecy of the Delphic oracle, which meant that it was the wooden ships, of the navy which would defeat the Persians. This was how it played out in the second Peloponnesian war. Adams believed our Navy was the essential defense needed for our liberty. The Navy will protect our commerce, and defend our shores against attack from overseas.
He believed passionately in Liberty.
How about "One nation, under God, with Liberty and Justice for all". Under God wasn't added to the Pledge of Allegiance until the 1950s, but Adams would certainly have supported its inclusion as a necessary part of our foundation.
Adams followed a pattern President Washington had set. Washington had accepted a treaty which was very unpopular, to avoid war with Britain. Adams, in spite of the fact that Tallyrand and his three ministers (Messrs. X, Y, and Z) had demanded a bribe for our mission to France to be able to speak about a treaty, secured a treaty that kept us from war with the French, one which Hamilton was preparing for, and one which George Washington had been commissioned a Lieutenant General, our first three star general, before his death in December 1799.
He also created our Navy. We don't currently have an active ship of the line christened for John Adams, but we have had two different vessels named for him in our history.
