“Addison believed that (quoting Vattel)“every government must be [the] sole judge of what is necessary to be done, for its own safety or advantage, within its own territory.””
Do you agree with Addison and Vattel? Would there have been an American Revolution if it is a true statement?
The Founders by reading Vattel’s Law of Nations found their justification to have their revolution.
Vattel gave inspiration to the Founders..they printed pamphlets using quotes from the Law of nations to rouse the colonists.
It is your groaned frenzy to deny this..to beat your own drum....
If Vattel is a nobody..as you proclaim..why is Addison quoting him in a letter to Washington.
Your nonsense posts on freerepublic are fables to promote your own self interests.
You rather see the Constitution destroyed to advance your own posterity.
