He found himself caught in a political tug-of-war between the Federalists and the Jeffersonian Republicans over foreign affairs. Adams became involved in the Quasi-War against France, signed the repressive Alien and Sedition Acts, and was ousted from office after one term. Although some believed that the president was the exclusive voice of government in the sphere of foreign relations under the Constitution, John Adamss presidency would prove such a belief to be a misconception.
