| Summary | "The Jubilee of the Constitution" by John Quincy Adams is a historical oration delivered in the early 19th century, specifically commemorating the 50th anniversary of the United States Constitution. This significant piece reflects on the founding principles of American governance, emphasizing themes of liberty, sovereignty, and national unity. Given its context, the work serves both as a celebration of the Constitution's impact and a critical reflection on the political evolution of the United States since its inception. In this powerful oration, Adams recounts the tumultuous journey of the American colonies from individual governance to the formation of a federal Constitution. He discusses the ideals embodied in the Declaration of Independence, arguing that the sovereignty of the people—rather than fragmented state powers—was crucial for establishing a stable government. Through a detailed examination of historical events and decisions leading up to the adoption of the Constitution, Adams emphasizes the necessity for unity and cooperation among the states to preserve the freedoms and rights of citizens. The address not only aims to honor the founding figures of the Republic but also seeks to remind contemporary audiences of the importance of adhering to the principles that undergird the nation's foundation.
