Dickinson was right.

Love the rest of the Pennsylvania delegation standing up when Adams starts shit talking the Quakers lmao

The US Constitution is one of the greatest gifts even given to humanity. Freedom, liberty and rights for all protected by one law for all under God. Absolutely brilliant! #GodBlessAmerica and to all who protect its Constitution

They never did regain those rights as natural born Englishmen.

Sickening

Human rights come from the Creator, not governments. That is why they are both "self-evident" and "unalienable". The Constitution sets forth the limited powers granted by the people to the Federal Government. If that power is not expressed in the Constitution, the Federal Government cannot assume it.

Dickinson was a traitor to the cause.

"Please sir, spare my daughter., "no", "ok, then how about not burning down our house afterwards?", "no", "well then I guess I'll have to get dressed now." <--- Dickinson "back TF off, tyrant", "no", "I'm dressed and ready, even brought a few friends, last chance.", "no", "open fire!". <--- Adams I see it as solely the difference between innocence and experience. Innocent people turn a blind eye, because they have NO IDEA how bad it will get. It ALWAYS gets that bad with Tyranny, be they a street gang or a king.

FUN FACT John Dickinson was known as the "Penman of the Revolution".

John Adams commits so many logical fallacies it's ridiculous.

The English only understand one thing... They talk negotiation, treaties, equality... They only understand bullets.

A few rich guys didn't want to pay legit taxes to the Crown that protects them so they started a revolution. Weasels.

what a time in history

Just wanted to add that the gentlemen playing Dickinson here is one hell of an actor. Great show.

Powder & artillery… poignant words, today.

The rich didn’t want to pay taxes … all the rest is window dressing. The rich didn’t want to pay taxes, they were greedy and selfish, right, liberty, self governance were all part of the strategy to stop paying taxes.

John Adams would oppose Trump big time

Dickinson is such a great character. Viewed himself as British, but also was the first to get in uniform to defend his home. He was the penman of the revolution and has some of the best writings on it and the principles behind it

I Christopher James Lydon, from Holbrook Massachusetts, was just on a bus in Brockton Massachusetts with John Adams, Friday, November 29th, 2024 Sincerely and Honestly Christopher James Lydon

Sounds like Ukraine fighting against the Russians.

4:00 the insurrectionist are always right

To Dickinson’s credit, when the olive branch was swatted away, Dickinson immediately said “a’it, cowabunga it is”

Think how much more effective John Adams tirade would have been if the role was given to Captain Lou Albano !

This used to be the American accent. Dayum.

The British Constitution is still non-codified and smothered in royal power! Because of that, the colonials had to achieve independence. But for those of y'all who are historically political dorks like me. Here are the "rights" that they looked for: - the pretended power of suspending the laws and dispensing with (i.e., ignoring) laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal; - the commission for ecclesiastical causes is illegal; levying taxes without a grant of Parliament is illegal; - it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal; - keeping a standing army in time of peace, unless it be with consent of Parliament, is against law; - Protestants may have arms for their defense suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law; - election of members of Parliament ought to be free; - the freedom of speech and debates or proceedings in Parliament ought not to be impeached or questioned in any court or place out of Parliament; - excessive bail ought not to be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted; - jurors in trials for high treason ought to be freeholders; - promises of fines and forfeitures before conviction are illegal and void; - for redress of all grievances, and for the amending, strengthening, and preserving of the laws, Parliaments ought to be held frequently. The Law of 1698 also asserted that if the English monarch engaged in such acts, he was considered a tyrant. These were: - by assuming and exercising a power of dispensing with and suspending laws and the execution of laws without the consent of Parliament; - by prosecuting the Seven Bishops; - by establishing the court of commissioners for ecclesiastical causes; - by levying taxes for the use of the Crown by pretense of prerogative as if the same was granted by Parliament; - by raising and keeping a standing army within this kingdom in time of peace without consent of Parliament; - by causing Protestants to be disarmed at the same time when papists were both armed and employed contrary to law; - by violating the freedom of election of members to serve in Parliament; - by prosecutions in the Court of King's Bench for matters and causes cognizable only in Parliament, and by divers (diverse) other arbitrary and illegal courses; - by employing unqualified persons on juries in trials and jurors in trials for high treason, which were not freeholders; - by imposing excessive bail on persons committed in criminal cases against the laws made for the liberty of the subjects; - by imposing excessive fines and illegal and cruel punishments; - by making several grants and promises made of fines and forfeitures before any conviction or judgment against the persons upon whom the same were to be levied; Long live the American Republic, and for our blessed rights we have in this great republic, we live! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇬🇧 🇬🇧

I say " All yea, John Dickenson" A man of conscience, and ultimately a true patriot.

So, Zeljko Ivanek, Paul Giamatti, Stephen Dillane, David Morse, Danny Huston, Tom Wilkinson...all in the same room together working out a scene. Must've been an exciting day on set!

I like Sam Adams Beer😂

Rebels❤

I like the series very much but I think if the clothes were dirtier maybe a stain here and there it would add to the authenticity. The designs of the attire is excellent as far as I can see.

Or you can collective refuse to pay any taxes and tell Britian you don't care about their protection or troops stationed. You won't give them any more money, rather you'll fund your own security forces.

This was a superb series.Paul Giamatti's performance as Adams was sublime and powerful. I rank it as his best

I can't stand the MTV camera work.😒😒😒🤢

the acting in this show is out of control

What’s the name of show?

I wonder why the Americans didn't point out the horrible exploitation and tyranny the English Crown and Parliament were dishing out to Ireland and Scotland at this same time, and say "they are trying to do the same to us!"

Love this show. Perfection. The acting cant be surpassed.

General Cornwallis sitting there disguised as Benjamin Franklin!

"Si vis pacem, para bellum."

If this is how he was during the Revolution, man he became a far cry from this when he said we should be paying off the Barbary pirates.

The mistake is thinking the crown would ever concede anything.

Reason for independence means Abolishing Rights!

my social studies teacher showed my class this video then the fire alarm was pulled

Ready for the hate for this one but Dickinson’s point about where rights come from is totally correct, there are no “natural rights”

No bright lights, no CGI, no crap of any kind. Just the finest acting of our lifetime. Giamatti's face is a movie all by itself. What guts these founders had!

A man Says A distaste for the overall feeling towards the invisible party/ representing ones in the this resolution , which desideds , peace and stability,,,, We call thi6 the venting chamber , Rather than faceto face. phone call made meeting in un room public neutral and private, . Upstanding serious! and well intended moral and upright people would certainly take a winning opportunity ponder that scenario from those who gather in the un an those watching abroad and yes The one nation under God the living breathing in god we trust The deceleration of independence only as meaningful as our beloved Constitution is upheld

"We shall fight on the beaches, . . . we shall never surrender." It echoes in all generations that are subjected to oppression. "I have a dream . . . " is one from our own era.

Per Adam Smith, it would seem such rights consist simply in the conduct of extortion under the protection of law.

I wish we could go back in time and show them what this country would become. Then ask "Still wanna fight?"

Liked the way that walking stick snuck into frame
