John Adams was highly respected as one of the founding fathers who declared independence and drafted the US Constitution. He was the incumbent vice-president and was generally considered to be a logical successor to Washington. Like Washington, he believed in a strong federal government. A party, called the Federalists, grew up that agreed with his views in opposition to the weaker notion of federal government espoused by Jefferson.
