Adams was known for the patriot cause, at first as the outcome of his opposition to the Stamp Act of 1765.He argued that the Stamp Act disadvantanged the American colonists of the basic rights to be taxed by consent and to be tried by a jury of peers. In 1770, he justified defending the soldiers on the grounds that the facts of a case were more significant to him than the intense disposition of the people. Reaction to Adams's defense of the soldiers was unsympathetic, and his law practice suffered greatly.However, his actions later elevate his status as a dauntless, liberal, and fair man.

In the presidential election of 1808, Madison conquered Federalist candidate Charles Cotesworth Pinckney to become the nation's fourth chief executive. He faced problems from overseas, as Britain and France had continued their strike on American ships pursuing the embargo. In retribution, Maidson provided a war procalamtion against Britain in 1812. Congress had not accurately funded or prepared an army, and a number of the states did not support what was attributed to as "Mr. Madison's War" and would not allow their mlitias to join the campaign. The U.S. met defeat much of the time both on land and at at sea, but its well-built ships proved to be formidable foes.
