Product Details:

"The happiness of society is the end of government." is a famous John Adams quote and captures his Enlightenment-influenced view of the purpose of governance. This quote comes from John Adams’ “Thoughts on Government,” written in 1776. In this influential pamphlet, Adams laid out principles for forming a balanced republican government. This reflects a central theme in Adams' political philosophy: that the legitimate purpose of government is to secure the well-being and flourishing of the people—not just materially, but morally and civically.
