As a diplomat, Adams was involved in many international negotiations, and, as Secretary of State, helped formulate the Monroe Doctrine. As president, he sought to modernize the American economy and promoted education. He enacted a part of his agenda and paid off much of the national debt.] He was stymied by a Congress controlled by his enemies, and his lack of patronage networks helped politicians eager to undercut him.
