I've seen twits on here claim that the Founders didn't use Vattels because they didn't know French. How absurd is that? The Founders were better educated, HOMESCHOOLED some of them, than most college people are today. They also looked at Rome as a Republic to gain wisdom when forming our country. The left has succeeded in convincing idiots that the Founders were not as wise as they truly were.
Valid point, he was born in Couvet in Neuchatel, Switzerland which is French speaking.
Our Founding Fathers were among the most brilliant and courageous men in the history of Mankind.
