Perhaps no Founding Father exemplifies the ideal of a citizen-legislator quite like John Adams. Never a wealthy man, Adams dedicated his life and contributed greatly to our country in its infancy: as a lawyer, as a delegate to the Continental Congress, as our first Vice President and as our second President. What was the basis for Adam's beliefs in how our country should be structured and why does our guest today argue John Adams was the greatest of our Founding Fathers? Join our student panel as we welcome C. Bradley Thompson, Professor of Political Science at Clemson University, for this informative discussion.
