What historical legislation did John Quincy Adams pass during his presidency?
Adams’ Administration accomplished very little for too reasons. First, most of the foreign policy issues were solved before he took office. Secondly, he only served one term, which limited his ability to accomplish anything great. That being said, Adams’ administration is credited with the following: The development of the American System – high tariffs, internal improvements, and reform of the national bank and currency. Under his presidency, the Cumberland Road was extended into Ohio and the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal was started. His most famous legislation may be the Tariff of 1828 (aka the Tariff of Abominations).
