“Riiiight. Just like SCOTUS invented the right to abortion.”
No. There is an excellent legal history SHOWING the progress from NBS to NBC. NBS was a very widely used legal term, known to every founding father, frequently used in legislation - and after freedom, it was GRADUALLY replaced with NBC.
And since Vattel NEVER USED THE TERM, Vattel is obviously NOT the source of the meaning!
