John Adams was one of the founding fathers and had spent much of life and energy in making the independent United States possible. He finished second in the first two presidential elections and so was the Vice-president. He saw how Washington ran the country and he generally approved. He thus was the natural successor to Washington and was willing to take on the responsibility. He also feared that people like Jefferson would weaken the federal government perhaps to the point of making it ineffective.
