A list of puns related to "Alien and Sedition Acts"
Was this a policy he desired or was this driven by other Federalists (e.g. Congress or Hamilton)?
Currently watching the HBO miniseries on Adams, and it portrays him as somewhat reluctantly accepting them, but I was wondering to what extent that was true. What were Adams' private thoughts on these laws, and to what extent did he cause them to be written/enforced?
It seems really odd to me the second President of the United States singed bills that are so contradictory to the first Ament and free speach. How did Congress pass these acts? What was the response?
Actually found a clip, immediately after the clip, Adams talks with Abigail and eventually reluctantly signs the papers.
