Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History JAY, JOHN , member of the Continental Congress, diplomat, and first chief justice, U.S. Supreme Court. The descendant of French Protestant refugees who came to New York in the late seventeenth century, Jay began a distinguished career in national politics with his election to the First Continental Congress in 1774. A lawyer by training and a cautious politician by temperament, Jay was one of a group of moderate delegates who resisted independence until all hopes for reconciliation with Britain were gone. In the New York provincial convention in 1777, Jay was the principal author of a state constitution that limited legislative domination of government far more effectively than the charters that had just been written in other states. In 1778 Jay was elected president of Congress. In this capacity he became deeply involved in a bitter dispute about foreign policy that disrupted Congress through much of 1779. In the autumn of that year, he accepted appointment as the American minister to Spain, which had entered the war against Britain as an ally of France but not the United States. Jay's more notable accomplishment came when he joined the American peace commission. In the crucial negotiations of 1782, he and John Adams prevailed on Benjamin Franklin to ignore their formal instructions from Congress and to seek the best terms they could obtain from Britain without relying on guidance from France.

The ineffectiveness of the Articles of Confederation led him to become a proponent of a strong national government. After the Constitution was ratified, George Washington nominated John Jay as the chief justice, September 24th, 1789, and he was confirmed two days later. George Washington had chosen wisely I selected the first chief justice. Jay had always been widely respected as a just and reasonable man. His stewardship of the court only improved his standing and, not incidentally, did much to establish the Supreme Court as a reasoned and honorable institution. In 1794, however, when war with Britain threatened due to controversies over the Treaty of Paris, Jay was appointed by Washington to negotiate a settlement, even while serving as Supreme Court Justice. On his return, Jay found that he had been elected as governor of New York in 1795, a surprise to him as he was not even asked if he would serve. Jay was forced to retire from the Supreme Court, though he would not have chosen to do so, because his friends in New York had called him to service. Though the fury of public reaction to Jay's treaty marred his first term, hew as reelected and proved to be a most popular and productive governor.

He seems to have been a believing Christian throughout his life, and took great pains to avoid discussing religion with those who did not agree with him. Like many others of his era, Jay harbored anti-Catholic feelings. During the drafting of the New York constitution and bill of rights, Jay proposed several amendments to the religious tolerance clause, restricting the rights of Catholics unless they swore allegiance to the state superceding any allegiance to their Church or Pope.
