In the miniseries, John Adams, political topics are considered in the entire film basing the film on the reign of US President John Adams (McCullough, 2007). Jefferson also contributes to the independence issue in his article on the declaration of independence in the United States. Abraham Lincoln in his speech determined that justice is the base of what our forefathers fought for and in their honour, it should be upheld (Lincoln, 2010).
According to Jefferson, the form of justice presented in the American system is entirely dependent on the unalienable rights of human beings, which are given to them by the creator (Jefferson, 2007). Jefferson agrees that ten current states of United States are exposed to dangers as well as an invasion from other external forces as well as internal forces and convulsions. Jefferson directs that there has been stagnation in the population, which directly affects the law of naturalization of foreigners, which is an obscurement of justice administration (Jefferson, 2007). He further notes that there has been an obstruction of justice where the government refuses to consent to laws for establishing judicial powers (Jefferson, 2007).
In the John Adam miniseries, the second episode portrays the effects of independence on the justice system and fair rule (McCullough, 2007). The show depicts the contention between Great Britain and the second continental congress in the signing of the independence as well as its declaration. The episode declares that a form of justice relevant to a system must be appropriate and protective of the common interest of every citizen. At one point the writer depicts that “an insult in public I took more serious than an insult in private” (McCullough, 2007). Thus, the handing over of the independence declaration was a crucial factor for the realization of an affair and justice system for the American people.
