Obviously Biased but well done
The author was obviously biased in regards to the Adams and Jefferson conflict, as well as Adams time as president, however you can't deny how important Adams was to the revolution and the founding of America.
Adams wanting to install Plato's idea of an aristocracy is nice on paper, but so are all centralized forms of government.
Either way, good take on his life and presidency, just make sure you recognise when the author is defending as opposed to educating.
