约翰昆西亚当斯担任国会议员期间
在1828年与安德鲁杰克森（Andrew Jackson）竞选总统失利之后，亚当斯卸任回到麻塞诸塞州，但停留在家乡的时间并不长，1830年11月，他在麻塞诸塞州第十二行政区（普利茅斯Plymouth）获选为美国众议院议员；有些历史学家认为这段期间是亚当斯担任公职生涯中表现最好的一段时间。他的任期从1831年开始、直到他于1848年2月23日逝世于美国国会大厦中才退出，在他过世的两天之前他才在寝室中发生中风的病征。
亚当斯拥有相当强烈的独立特质，他如何利用这个特质在国会中创造亮眼的表现？
After losing the 1828 election to Andrew Jackson, Adams retired to Quincy, Massachusetts. But not for long. In November 1830, the 12th District (Plymouth) of Massachusetts elected him to the U.S. House of Representatives. Some historians regard this as the best phase of his public-service career. He served from 1831 until his death in the Capitol building on February 23, 1848, after suffering a stroke two days earlier in the House chamber.
Adams had a very independent streak. How did that help him be successful in Congress?
