And you give no links to enlighten others. Sorry, I’m not going to just take your word for it.

You don't have to take my word for it. I gave you the name. You can find it just as I would have to do if I were to try and give you a link.

I have posted links to it in the past, but I have not kept track of this. I have so many bookmarks on so many issues that I can no longer find anything.

I give up trying to keep up with links.

You can also research William Rawle, which I did quite a lot of. He is a London trained lawyer (London only teaches British law) who was present in Philadelphia during the Constitutional convention, but who was not a member and so did not participate in any of the deliberations.

His father was a British Loyalist, but he chose to come back to the US after the war.

Look him up. Learn more about him, and then you will understand what he argued, and why he argued it.

It is an interesting story, and you may be glad you learned about this particular aspect of American history.

And i'll give you a hint.

That case referenced with William Lewis and Jared Ingersoll is "Negress Flora v Joseph Graisberry".
