I think a very interesting point he made, maybe it should get a seperate post to discuss this aspect, was that the ammendments only work in a Christian society and without that and rampant 'godlessness', it doesn't work whatsoever.
It's a interesting thought, that democracy only works within a religious or really Christian framework only. Also like how he was arguing why women shouldn't be involved in politics as it seemed to demolish every argument feminists have ever made.
"Avarice [and] ambition [. . .] would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." - John Adams, 1798
