Adams, John Quincy (1767–1848) 6th president of the United States, diplomat, secretary of state, and U.S. congressman, born in Braintree (now Quincy), Massachusetts, the son of 2nd President
John Adams. He conceived the
Monroe Doctrine (1823). As president, he strove to launch a vast program of national public works, such as road and canal construction.
In the close three-way election of 1824, neither Adams,
Henry Clay, nor
Andrew Jackson received an electoral majority; the election was decided in the House of Representatives, and, with Clay's support, Adams was made president. With only 31 percent, he holds the record for the lowest percentage of the popular vote.
