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.
Making Christianity as the main religion of Rome was one of the factors that led to the downfall of the empire. The emperor was regarded as one of the gods before Christianity came then the aftermath of the change of religion made the emperor not credible to his own people. Rome was also headed by incompetent leaders both in the military and government. Then the divided empire was overthrown by barbaric tribes.
George Mason did not want the Constitution and did not want to sign it. He did not want the federal government to have a large amount of power, as this gave the government a lot power to put on citizens, like the British did to the colonists. George Mason wanted a strong central government, like the Articles of Confederation, which gives very little power to the government, and makes it so they can not regulate trade or even effectively make people obey to certain laws.
