ESSAY
41. ANS:
Adams tried to pursue the best interests of the nation, but his presidency had both strengths and weaknesses.
His courage in resisting his own party’s call for war and his use of diplomacy during the French crisis were
strengths. Students should also note that the Alien and Sedition acts were undemocratic and that his support
for their enforcement was at odds with the Constitution’s stated goals.
