John Quincy Adams Dbq
The election between Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams was full of controversy. John Quincy Adams’ presidential term was full of in-house problems because of his race being allegedly being helped by Henry Clay which made his constitutional agenda not being pushed in. But if I were to choose a president, I choose John Quincy Adams because he’s very intelligent and is already with good relations with other countries in Europe.
John Quincy Adams was a really educated person and served a lot of time being an ambassador for the United States on a lot of countries like Great Britain. If he got reelected for president, he could’ve had a chance to push the country to its greater limit with his knowledge even though he wasn’t a big fan of democracy

    Jacksonian Democrats were not the "Guardians of Democracy" that they claimed to be, rather, they were much more guardians of their own sectional interests, and arguably Andrew Jackson's inflated ego. Jacksonians were skilled at emotionalizing issues and rallying the support of the South and West. Their primary goals were not Constitutional justice and individual liberty, but instead they strived to suppress New England, the Whig party, and business interests and to preserve States’ rights.…

    John Adams is the person I admire the most. Since I am on this American Revolution kick, I going to shout out for the Forgotten Patriot. John Adams, without him there might not have been an American Revolution, not that it was an effort by a single man but several singular men held the Revolution together. John Adams endured. People actively disliked him for his intellect, his supposed coldness, and prickly nature. They poked fun at a man who was pudgy and bald before age thirty. A man later dubbed as 'His Redundancy,' Adams was frequently accused of being an aristocrat who lined his purse at other’s expense and despite Adams invaluable service to the Revolution and the Peace, the multi-headed beast first called Anti-Federalist and later Democratic-Republicans.…

    Even though Henry Adams was already influential in him, having been raised with an enormously intellectual and eye-opening family, he had his own struggles other than the ones that were presented to him by his family about the country on its own. He was able to learn on his own that education is much more than memorizing anything, to him; it was about living it and being an example of how to make history. He knew that the only way to be as influential as he really wanted to be was by broadening his own mind as much as he possibly could. He had grown up with a president grandfather and another influential grandfather, so to him it was important that…
