""A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Against the Attack of M. Turgot"" is a book written by John Adams. It was published in 1787 and is a response to the criticisms made by French economist Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot of the American system of government. The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides an overview of the American system of government, including the separation of powers and the checks and balances that are in place to prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful. The second part addresses Turgot's criticisms of the American system, including his belief that the American government was too weak and would be unable to maintain its independence. In the third part of the book, Adams argues that the American system of government is superior to any other system in the world. He contends that the American system is designed to protect individual rights and liberties, and that it is based on the principles of popular sovereignty and the rule of law. Overall, ""A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Against the Attack of M. Turgot"" is an important historical work that provides insight into the debates surrounding the American system of government in the late 18th century.
