John was the second of five children, he also was an essayist, writing the 'Letter's of Publicola', (it was a response to Thomas Jefferson's approval of Thomas Paine's "Rights of Man"). Publicola in Latin means 'friend of the people', all in all he wrote eleven letters under this pseudonym. While Thomas Paine wrote that the British people should have a revolt much like the French Revolution, Adams wrote against it "like his father, the son warned that passion, not reason, was the source of individual and group political behavior." (Quoted from the book 'John Quincy Adams; a public life, a private life written by Paul C. Nagel).
He became President of the United States, not by winning the election, but by the Constitutional requirement that if no candidate had a majority of the electoral vote the House of Representatives would pick the President.

In the end Clay put his support behind John which gave him the Presidency.
