the diaries and writings of john adams, the writings of john adams are i think seven volumes and diaries of four volumes, the writings of sam adams and of thomas hutchinson, all of these people were prolific writers and kept their correspondence. so it's rich pool of research. yes, sir? >> all of this information be disclosed, why was a dormant for so long? >> let's not dormant, it's there in bits and pieces, and the problem with american history to -- i think i can generalize all american history, but the history of the colonial revolutionary war mike and post revolutionary war maquis era is that it's very complex, and as my son, when my son was about 14 and came home from school and said you know something, that blacks in american history all the doing talk. european there's a lot of action. but all they do is talk. he's right. and the talk is very complex on very complex issues that philosophers and political interests and lead philosophers have been debating for many years. this involved enormously important concepts that have implications for the entire world, divine right of kings

defending them were none other than the respected american lawyers, joe, quincy, and john adams. cousin of sam. near quincy or adams torres. they were all local farmers. and they voted unanimously to acquit the officer and four of the soldiers. they found the other two soldiers guilty of justifiable manslaughter, a little bit more than a misdemeanor. just as important though, the trial exposed the role of sam adams and james otis in siting the mob. and boston citizens decided they had enough of this. enough violence and enough sam adams and voted otis back to the assign asylum. the army command felt the same way. the troops had come to america to fight the enemies, not the enemies themselves, who were their own countryman. the army pulled out of boston and peace returned to boston and the rest of the colonies. the troubles bean britain and her colonist should have ended then and there with everyone living under the union jack. expect. expect for one tiny irritant that remained with the motherland. in repealing the townsend duties, a small group of angry parol -- parliamentarians d

in one eighteen thirteen jefferson and his political rival john adams had been the president just before jefferson in fact he was given as vice president clashed over how senators would be elected to serve in congress at the time it was left to the states and most to crony appointments by governors or elected by state legislatures that often boy. former president adams was of the belief that the senate should be comprised of a wealthy elite he was a genuine original conservative he thought we should have a natural aristocracy that was his phrase what he called it that it could serve as a check against the masses for the rabble adams word for people like you and me in eight hundred thirteen letter to adams on this issue jefferson this is five years after he left the presidency lashed out at what he saw as a flaw emerging in our democracy he wrote of this a cub all in the summit of the united states has furnished many proofs nor do i believe them necessary to protect the wealthy because enough of these will find their way into every branch of the legislation to protect themselves i think t

year that the declaration of independence was written ben franklin helped edit that along with john adams and john j. it was written by thomas jefferson franklin also was the president of the constitutional convention in the state in which he lived his adopted state pennsylvania of philadelphia and he signed the constitution of pennsylvania in seven hundred seventy six and here's a phrase this is a quote from his article eight of the pennsylvania constitution seven hundred seventy six this was essentially the basis of our second amendment it said that the people have the right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state and as standing armies in time for peace are dangerous to liberty they ought not to be kept up and that the military should be kept under strict subordination to and governed by the civil. and we accomplished subordinate in the military to the civil power by making the president the united states the civilian commander in chief of the military. and we established that people had the right to buy guns or to own guns so that they could defend the state or themse

john adams, one continue in salt to decency and good manners. he is always an honest man, and son finn's absolutely out of his senses. is compared to adams and hamilton, a scotch peddler, hamilton, a superabundance of features, to drop off. doesn't get any stronger than that. hamilton, gave as good as he got. john adams is as wicked as he is mad. the only one who really rises above all of this partisan name calling and mudslinging is george washington. at the beginning of his term he has a political honeymoon for a year or two but the two party system springs up and the opposition party attacks and. and restore a monarchy to -- and some of the charges today. it was the fame. he was not a glad handing backslapping personality. he was not a good extemporaneous speaker and wherever you went he gave a few well chosen words. you can see when he was president he made a tour of all of these states and send a delegation of dignitaries to the money outskirts of town and one always arrive an hour or two earlier to bypass the. he would actually right in his

over the island divided up the land and within four years the only man left alive was a guy named john adams he killed everybody they started fighting among each other all the women that they brought from taking over the food i mean is there any society in the world that you can point to where iran's ideas have ever been put into place and it didn't lead to disaster i don't think that they have ever been put into place i mean even maybe in the very. beginning stages of the united states maybe you could argue. but no i don't think we've ever i don't think i don't think they've ever been implemented and i mean isn't in an anarchist as far as i'm aware and i've read heard her her work extensively and i think that she advocates for a government a government with a very limited to enforce contracts only to enforce contracts and protect rights here to right yeah and ok and that's actually fairly in line with it with mainstream conservatism. he and i know that's the thing to hear from speech so much amanda thank you for coming in to talk about god it's conversation we probably have you have thank y

and one need only to read the writings of jefferson, james madison, john adams, to see that it was never intended that we would have a massive federal government. but what has happened since 2009, even states and cities get more of the revenue from the federal government than they get from any other source. this would be a shock to thomas jefferson, james madison and to our founders. who never concede the federal government would be so big that it would not be just as big as that would be incredibly much bigger than the collective states and cities that originally the federal government was to serve. but that's what we have come. and so my title in his particular view is that the further you drew from shore, the more likely or to be lost at sea. the premise is to me again, a common sense simple principle, that if i govern my own family, i can do that because i know my children. my wife and i have three children, they're all grown. every 30 for your son, 30 year old son and a 28 year-old daughter, two of those children are married. and for some reason, and i don't think it was intended, b

>> the estimates from john adams was 25% or 1/3 of more modern estimates take it in the same parameter. so that you have a politic of about, i don't know, 1,200,000. you have somewhere between 80 and 100,000. in terms of who leaves, you can kind of get the numbers about who goes up to canada. but it returns in that area. it's an amazing story. the people who don't want a revolution at the end of the war have to go somewhere. so they are exiled essentially. the british give them a lot of hand up in canada. they found canada. and so you have a country here that's formed by revolutionaries, and you have a country up there that's formed by nonrevolutionaries. and that's the basis for the american -- for the canadian character. and basis for the american character. revolutionaries and nonrevolutionaries. >> where did the term tories come from? >> it's lost in antiquity, but probably it was an irish term for highway men. and it was used in british politics, parliamentary politics long before the revolution. and it still is. yeah, yeah, and it still has essentially the same meaning. even in p

the rooms are named for former secretaries of state, the john quincy adams room is home to the desk at the treaty of paris was signed ending the american revolutionary war. these rooms have witnessed historic meetings between american officials and foreign ministers and heads of state. we take note of the 50th an vaerls of these rooms and the patrons of diplomacy initiatives. we begin our conversations on diplomacy with secretary of state and former secretary of state kissing her. secretary clinton came to this office after serving as first lady of arkansas and the united states. she was appointed by president obama after a spirited contest for nomination for president. henry kissinger was a harvard professor, national security advisor for president nixon and secretary of state in the administrations of richard nixon and gerald ford. i first want to thank secretary clinton for allowing us to come here at the state department in these historic rooms. >> well, charlie, we delighted to have you here for the conversations, and especially in these rooms which have seen a lot of history and

[laughter] like, you know, about the story of how john adams and thomas jefferson died on the same die on the 50th anniversary of independence, and it's july 4? you put that in a novel, that would be so laughable.

[laughter] what inspired you to use that title? >> oh, it is -- it's a quotation from a letter written by one of the first hawaiian writers, david mala, and he was almost 30 years old when the first missionaries arrived, and they taught him how to read and write. he was well-schooled in the hawaii tradition, but the missionaries from new england had to invent a written language for hawaiian, so they taught him and

john adams defended a british soldier accused of murder in the boston massacre.more important that one guilty man -- excuse me. that 99% might get often have one innocent man wrongly convicted. that is where a criminal defense attorneys are. most of the prosecutors are devoted civil servants who tried to see that justice is done. one side or the other inevitably slips. when that happens, it is on the front page. we hear about a criminal defense attorneys been paid in something other than money. you hear about prosecutors like ted stevens from alaska. one of the prosecutors in that case committed suicide after he was accused of unethical behavior. there was what happened in detroit with the terrorism trial where they were accused of prosecutorial misconduct. things like that can happen. what happens, the reaction is that we realize the person without was superman was really clark kent on steroids. that hurts. there is good news. west michigan is a great place to practice because the economy has not hit us as badly as others. there are fewer attorneys here. it is a

since abigail adams asked john to remember the ladies, and he didn't, and the ladies did not foment therevolution that they promised him they were going to do if he didn't remember them, that has been the, that has been the sequence and the trajectory, and that's what we need to change. no excuses power tool number two is define your term first before someone else defines you. we all know whoever defines the terms wins the debate. and i think just in redefining power i've given you an example of defining your own terms. use what you've got. again, as connie and i both took what was a liability to us in our youth, we hated that feeling of being different, of not being good enough, of not measuring up. but that's what propelled us into leadership, what gave us the passion for the poor, for the sick, for those who needed help in whatever way. use what you've got. i learned to embrace controversy. i learned to love -- how many of you love controversy? [laughter] i knew there'd be a few here. [laughter] how many of you hate controversy? see, most people really back off of controversy. but wh

if you look at the real list tradition, one of the clear expressions was john quincy adams, one of the underrated early presidents who said that wherever freedoms' banner is unfurled, that's where america's hearts and prayers shall be. but we don't go abroad looking for monsters to destroy. we well wish freedom around the world, but we defend it only within our borders. on the other hand, barack obama and in his noble prize speech, talked about the duty to proct and the notion that our humanitarian impulses should guide our military engagements as it did in bosnia. so the quer we're addressing tonight, and i'll start with secretary albright is, it's easy to say that our values and our ierests always go together. and that if we act upon our values we will be acting on our interests. but the three of you know better than anybody in the room that foreign policy is difficult. decisions are dill. and sometimes there's a conflict between our values and our interests. how do you think the role f values, democracy, and freedom should play on our foreign policy? >> well, first of all i'm deligh

adam smith. that's not to say he wouldn't be an agreement with, say, well, a historical figure. smith read john locke, read the second treatise, was fully conversant with the tradition that a lockean would have represented where we at certain principles of human nature and natural laws to reduce from that the proper scope of government. that just wasn't his approach. so they may well have agreed in a conclusion but it would've arrived at them in very different ways. >> i think one of the things that it's often forgotten with "the wealth of nations" is this year, the consequences of the sheer richness of that book. and it very much, it tends to encourage speculation about what might smith have thought about something, as well as what smith did think. now, i make that distinction because smith it seems to me is extremely careful both methodologically, as an executive in writing "the wealth of nations," to produce an analysis which explains why we have got in western europe basically, in french and british civilization to the stage with got at present. and his method doesn't allow him to form the

is abigail adams often overlooked but if you think about the revolutionary war, women were left behind with the children and if you look at her letters with john you see a woman that clearly was very, very bright, highly educated, and asked really great questions. and when you read her letters, and you see her questions you think she's prodding -- she's giving him the next thing to do, just make sure. and one of the things that she said she reminds him that every member feels for us. kind of like we do right now when you get calls from constituents and people who say remember the people down in georgia, remember the people out in texas and remember those in california? she reminded him of the people at home. and she also reminded him if a form of government is to be established, what one will be assumed? what's going to happen? how you will you form this government? how will it be made up? but clearly their relationship not only provided him with stability as a family but also intellectuality challenged him. the other one is jean kirkpatrick who i'm very fond of. she's very interesting because very, very bright woman who was a dad originally.

urban interactions in boston in the 17 seventies between john hancock who badly wanted the political change that could be created by the mob and sam adamswho like many purveyors of looker knew how to conjure a mauled and their connections as created by the city of boston changed america, helped create this great country of ours. in the 19th century the great problem was making the wealth of the american interior accessible to the markets of the east and europe. cities made that happen. they grew up to the great transportation network that enabled the rich dark soil of fallujah to become productive. if you go back to 1816, it cost as much to move the goods 32 miles overland as it did to ship them across the atlantic. it was enormously difficult to access all of the wealth that was in the american hinterland. cities grew up to know this great transportation network that grew up along the erie canal. the chicago which was formed start off with the illinois and michigan can now created a great watery arc that spanned all the way from new york to new orleans and reels and supplemented the transportation network that was based on the water an
