Abstract
Patriot Presidents: From George Washington to John Quincy Adams discusses the history of the founding fathers of the United States. The opening chapter on the Constitutional Convention of 1787 analyzes how the founding fathers created a unique institution, the presidency. They were determined to authorize an effective chief executive but cautious of monarchy. The presidency that developed over the next generation was fashioned less by the clauses in the Constitution than by the way that the first presidents responded to challenges. Patriot Presidents focuses on the incumbencies of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, and John Quincy Adams.
