John Adams was a Monarchist who helped undo America's 1776 revolution. "But a faction (Federalists), acting in disguise, was rising in America that they had lost sight of first principles. They were beginning to contemplate government as a profitable monopoly, and the people as hereditary property.....But let them go on, give them rope enough, and they will put an end to their own insignificance. There is too much common sense and independence in America to be long the dupe of any faction, foreign or domestic." Thomas Paine letter to the Citizens of the United States - from The National Intelligencer,Washington, DC November 15, 1802.
