This was the famous line of Jon Adam's.

  • United States is a country which operates over constitution and a set of laws
  • It doesn't operates upon one single king like United Kingdom.

This statement is still popular as before

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement was made by John Adams. It means as a country, US is ruled by a known set of laws and not by individual "men" e.g. kings of England. The rule of laws was what made US different from the Old World.
