Answer 1

Hint: John Quincy Adams was the 6th president of the United States of America. In his early years as president he was one of America's greatest ambassadors - including, among other things, the so-called Monroe Doctrine - and in his years as president (as US congressman, 1831 - 48) he fought for the extension of slavery.

Complete answer:
It is said that the first former President's son, John Quincy Adams in many ways likened the work to the attitude and ideas of his famous father. Born in Braintree, Massachusetts, in 1767 , he watched the Battle of Bunker Hill from the top of Penn's Hill above the family farm. As his father's secretary in Europe, he became a linguist and a prolific writer. But the old methods of electing the President took over in 1824before the noise of a popular election, and when he became President, Adams appointed Clay as Secretary of State. Jackson and his outraged supporters angrily claimed that a "corrupt transaction" had taken place and launched a campaign to snatch the presidential office from Adams in 1828.. He served as Secretary of State under James Monroe before becoming president.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).

Note:John Quincy Adams was the eldest son of John and Abigail Adams. Growing up during the American Revolution, he watched the Battle of Bunker Hill from Penn's Hill and heard cannons roaring across the Back Bay in Boston. He traveled with his father to the embassy in Europe and studied in Paris and Leiden, in the Netherlands.
