Joseph J. Ellis Quote

For Adams it was especially distressing to witness such conspicuous failure in the first formation of Government erected by the People themselves on their own Authority, without the poisonous Interposition of Kings and Priests. There was, to be sure, such a thing as The Cause, but the glorious potency of that concept did not translate to The People of the United States.16
