Along with William Vans Murray and William Richard
Along with William Vans Murray and William Richardson Davie, this man was one of the three commissioners who negotiated the Treaty of Mortefontaine. He was accused of fastening "chains of slavery" on children with a "birth-duty of allegiance" for his decision that Isaac Williams could not renounce citizenship without the consent of the community. John Taylor of Caroline was horrified at a secession proposal produced by this man and Rufus King. He wrote the Letters from a Landholder urging adoption of the Constitution, chaired the conference committee for the Bill of Rights, and was the chief author of the Judiciary Act of 1789. For 10 points, name this Connecticut Federalist and third Chief Justice of the United States.
