If ranking presidents from best to worst, Washington by far has been the best president following him would be Jefferson then Madison and finally Adams. They all had very good presidencies, but some were better than the others.

He was considered a monarchist, an argumentative, and an indecisive leader during wartime and no one wanted someone like to run their country. Adams was even attacked for his conservative outlook and for his tendency to act very irresponsibly and impulsively without consulting his cabinet and advisors. During the quasi-war with France, Adams's signing into law the Alien and Sedition Acts, which he did not initiate, became a responsibility that stained his reputation as president. When he called for new taxes and the creation of a standing army separated many at the time.
