This needs repeating..
Vattel was pounced upon by the studious members of Congress.
This is the Continental Congress..the Revolutionary Congress.
The Congress of Jefferson, Franklin, Jay, Washington, John Adams, Dickinson, Otis, Hamilton, Madison, Samuel Adams, Livingston, Thomas McKean, Patrick Henry, John Rutledge, Stephen Crane, Benjamin Harrison and others..
Ms Rogers...we pity you.
In addition to all of the above I would like to include The College of William and Mary
The College has been called the Alma Mater of a Nation because of its close ties to Americas founding fathers. A 17-year-old George Washington received his surveyor's license through the College and would return as its first American chancellor. Thomas Jefferson received his undergraduate education here, as did presidents John Tyler and James Monroe.
I guess you when say "no one" you didn't mean all these other people....
