John Jay's involvement in the 1st/First Continental Congress drew him into a full-time public service. He was elected as president of the Second Continental Congress on 12/10/1778. Along with John was Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, he successfully negotiated the terms of the Treaty of Paris in 1783. He was convinced that the Articles of Confederation didn't provide a strong enough central government. He wrote down five Federalist Papers in support of the new Constitution. President George Washington named him to be the first Chief of Justice in the Supreme Court. Washington then asked him in 1794 to negotiate a treaty with the Great Britain that recognized the U.S. neutrality rights. His success was limited/slim. With the treaty, he returned with bought/extra time to help avoid a war, but it didn't contain the British's acceptance of the American's neutrality rights or to at least halt the impressment of American seamen. He also resigned as the Chief of Justice in 1795 to become the Governor of NY/New York. I hope this help's you out. Good luck and I'm sorry if it's wrong.

Serhud [2]

Answer:

It was controversial because a lot of people who were on Lusitania were American citizens. Of course, many people believed that United States had to react on this by proclaiming war on Germany, a country that destroyed the boat. Still, Wilson and Congress believed that the time to wage war has not yet come.

Explanation:

When Germans sunk Lusitania, 128 American citizens died. It made American public furious. Still, president Wilson believed that America should stay out of conflict at least for the time to come. This was quite controversial as public believed that he closed his eyes to the killing of American civilians.
