Signers of the Declaration of Independence
John Adams

The most interesting thing that I've studied so far in Humanities is about John Adams, specifically about his views on standing up for those who are innocent rather than guilty. I liked the fact that he stood up for what he thought was right rather than what other people would think of him. Adam said himself that, "No man in a free country should be denied the right to counsel and a fair trial, and convinced, on principle, that the case was of utmost importance." He felt as though it was his duty to take on a case because he was in fact a lawyer. But he also wanted to show Britain a new way of fighting for what he believed in, and a fair trial was his way of showing them that fighting with weapons solves less than fighting with words.
