Federal government would have responsibility that native americans in their dependent nations would be shielded from white greed. No individual was more prepared for presidency than john quincy adams. Traveled with his father as a young boy abroad in the courts.

Vision: a nation unified by a strong, progressive federal government whose programs benefited all of the people. Aroused the jealousies of far too many significant interest groups and states.
