It was John Adams. It
was Adams who defended the British soldiers who fired on the colonist during
the Boston Massacre. He was able to
successfully defend them even though it was unpopular to do. He did this
because of his belief that everyone had the right to counsel. Adams was also one of the Founding Fathers of
the United States of America. Later he
would become George Washington’s Vice-President and later became the second
President of the United States. He along
with Thomas Jefferson contributed to the writing of the Declaration of
Independence.
