No, the architect, but not the author. Adams 1776 pamphlet Thoughts on Government laid out the framework for three branches of government, with a bicameral legislature, and restraints on direct democracy imposed by a written constitution and independent judiciary. Adams saw the bicameral legislature as an essential feature to ensure against the tyranny of the majority. At the time Massachusetts was the second most populous colony.
