Detailed explanation-1: -Adams responded by asking Congress to appropriate funds for defensive measures. These included the augmentation of the Navy, improvement of coastal defensives, the creation of a provisional army, and authority for the President to summon up to 80, 000 militiamen to active duty.
Detailed explanation-2: -Adams wished to avoid war and to protect the young nation from the revolutionary fervor in France, which Adams believed was contrary to American constitutional principles. Some believed the new nation should be a natural ally of the French.
Detailed explanation-3: -From the moment John Adams entered the presidency in 1797, the United States was in a state of undeclared war with France. The Quasi-War, as it was known, dominated his presidency, monopolizing both foreign policy and domestic policy.
Detailed explanation-4: -For instance, Adams favored a bold economic role for the national government that was far ahead of public opinion. Like the Democratic-Republicans who preceded him in the Era of Good Feelings, Adams supported a federal role in economic development through the American System that was chiefly associated with Henry Clay.
