Dude. Vattell’s Law of Nations was not translated until 10 years after the ratification of the Constitution and the writings of Swiss philosophers who never stepped foot in the United States have no bearing on constitutional law.
“Dude. Vattell’s Law of Nations was not translated until 10 years after the ratification of the Constitution and the writings of Swiss philosophers who never stepped foot in the United States have no bearing on constitutional law.”
The statement, “the writings of Swiss philosophers who never stepped foot in the United States have no bearing on constitutional law” is a lie. Many of the Founding Fathers and their assistants were fluent in reading French. George Washington borrowed a copy of Vattel’s book from a library to use during the drafting of the Constitution, and it was finally returned to the library after being overdue for more than two centuries. Madison purchased a copy of Vattel’s book for use by the Congress during its deliberations. You had a duty to check the facts before negligently coming forth to state falsehoods in denial of these historical facts. Consequently, you lied, whether with deliberation or by negligent failure to research the readily available truth. Vattel’s law of Nations was a major contribution to the drafting of the Constitution, and Thomas Jefferson established a school of law in Virginia on the Law of nations that explicitly used Vattel’s Law of Nations as the basic textbook for those college studies.
