His doctrine of omnicompetent sovereignty had little influence on the thought and political debates of his time, for none of his writings was published until the last few years of his life; but it came under scrutiny later in the century, particularly during the exclusion crisis and in the political writings of John Locke.

Analysing Filmers interpretation of Adams (and all kings) fatherly power, here described as legal patriarchalism, Daly shows it to be very different from most contemporary thought.
