Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Earthly Pilgrimage of John Jay The Ink which marked President Washington´s approval of the Federal Judiciary Act of 1789 was scarcely dry, when that functionary sent to the United States Senate the following names: For Chief Justice, John Jay; for Associate Justices, John Rutledge, James Wilson, William Gushing, Robert H. Harrison, and John Blair. At the same time the name of Edmund Randolph was proposed for Attorney General. Two days later, on September 26, the entire slate was confirmed, and John Jay was assigned the page in history devoted to the first Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. At that time he was forty-four years of age, and well known throughout the New Republic as a good citizen, a loyal patriot, an able lawyer, an honest politician, a far-seeing statesman, and a skillful diplomat. The opportunity was here afforded him to demonstrate his qualifications as a jurist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
