Originally written by James Otis in 1764. What is it they keep saying about that English Translation of Droit Des Gens?

.

Also, notice the ORDER of the requirements for "Natural born subject." PARENTS come first in the list! Also, Double allegiance is NOT TOLERATED!

“What is it they keep saying about that English Translation of Droit Des Gens?”

What we say is that the phrase NBC doesn’t appear in any translation of Vattel until 1797, 10 years after the Constitution.

And it is well established that natural born subject included those born of alien parents, unless the parents were ambassadors or an invading army.
