. =.= =.= =John Adams and his major at home issues. :) =



** [|No states] joined the union during his term. According to the information. None joined at all during his four year term. The joining skipped right over his term. :( **

** A major domestic issue during Adams’ presidency was the alien and sedition acts that he created. They stated that immigrants had a longer period of time to become citizens and also that the president had the power to deport immigrants who he felt were a threat. Also, it said that anyone who wrote something offensive in a newspaper or article about a government official, they then could be thrown in jail. Thomas Jefferson worked behind John Adams’ back in order to find arguments to claim the alien and sedition acts were unconstitutional. Some arguments included the freedom of press, which said citizens had the right to write what is truthful. Eventually the alien and sedition acts were taken away. **

Thomas Jefferson. (vice president )........ Timothy Pickering. (state)....John Marshall....(state)...........Oliver Wolcott Jr..(treasury)........
 * [|In John Adams’ cabinet] , his Vice President was Thomas Jefferson (1797-1801), secretary of state was Timothy Pickering (1797-1800) and John Marshall (1800-1801), secretary of the treasury was Oliver Wolcott Jr (1797-1801) and Samuel Dexter (1801), secretary of war was James McHenry (1796-1800) and Samuel Dexter (1800-1801), attorney general was Charles Lee( 1797-1801), and secretary of the navy was Benjamin Stoddert (1798-1801). These choices say a lot about what kind of person he was because he picked mostly federalists because he himself was a federalist. He wanted to be surrounded by people who would almost always agree with him. They were yes men. They would rarely challenge his ideas. Also, they were friends of his, so they would more often agree with him than not agree with him. **
