John Adams: Quotes on the Constitution Regarding Religion and Morality

"Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone, which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free Constitution is pure virtue, and if this cannot be inspired into our People in a greater Measure than they have it now, they may change their rulers and the forms of government, but they will not obtain a lasting liberty."
-John Adams
June 1776

"We have no government armed in power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constitution was made only for a religious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."
-John Adams
October 1798

Quote on The Two Parties and the Constitution

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble opinion, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution."
-- John Adams

President Jefferson Visits Fayetteville DAR

The third president of the United States made a surprise visit to the James Waldrop Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution this week in Fayetteville, Georgia. President Thomas Jefferson, portrayed by Tom Robinson, took the ladies back in time to the writing of the Declaration of Independence and to the time of his Presidency.

Thomas Jefferson was not known for his public speaking, but was known for his writings. His most prominent document was his draft of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson, one of five men who were selected by the Continental Congress in 1776 to draft the document to declare the colonies' independence from England, is considered one of the principal authors of this historic document. The final vote for independence came on July 4, 1776.

Thomas Jefferson first ran for president against John Adams in 1797. Adams won the election and Jefferson became the Vice President. At that early time in our country's history, the candidate who did not win the Presidential election became the 2nd in command.

In 1801, Jefferson successfully won his bid for president and served his country in that role for eight years. Jefferson fulfilled his dream to live to the 50th anniversary of the United States declaration and died on July 4, 1826.
