How much did John Adams make?

I could be wrong about this, but he didn't have a salary. He was a wealthy man, as was all of our first President's, so a salary wasn't considered. The Presidency wasn't thought of as a "job" it was seen as a public service for man to give back to his nation and then go home when he had finished his term of office. Our political figures today have made politics into a profession and is part of the problem.

Why is Abigail Adams remembered in history?

Why Abigail Adams is still remembered...

Abigail is still remembered in history because she was the wife of the second president of the US. More importantly she is remembered because of her political influence on her husband. She was pro-woman empowerment. She wanted for people who did not have equal rights to be granted them. Eventually this became possible and women were allowed to vote and slavery was abolished

Since her husband, John Adams, was the second President of the United States and his closest confidant I would say she earned her place in history. That is aside from her being brilliant, for a female of the time, and assisting her husband when ever needed in issues of state.

she was wife of a president and a mother of another

What rights do citizens have that aliens don't?

The answser depends on the nation involved. Different peoples define citizenship differently. In the US, ideal citizens are active in matters of both local and national interest, and take part in elections at every opportunity. Good citizens are mindful of and even zealous about the common good. Being a citizen should not be a matter of "I'll get what I can for myself, and I don't care what it costs others". Citizens should be willingly in compliance with the law and should consider it a privilege to take part in the system when appropriate. It is difficult and painful sometimes to accept that in any society, something may not go the way some individuals think it should. But acceptance of the law, and awareness of the methods of bringing about change are part of what make any nation civilized and progressive. This sounds so rosy and hopelessly optimistic. Of course life in today's world is complex and often uncertain. Cooperation, understanding, debate and compromise will go a long way in making citizens productive and secure.
