What a load of crap. Vattel’s book wasn’t translated into English until AFTER the Constitution was written. Who knows what books anyone read. If you read Mein Kampf would that prove anything? The colonies were entrenched in British law and custom. If they wrote anything other than what was customary at the time, they would have explained themselves. The Constitution was written for the common man to understand.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA
Oh, boy! What rock have you been hiding under all of this time?
Another dolt who doesn't believe that any of those learned men couldn't read or speak French...the language of diplomacy in that day and age.
You're plodding down a well worn path littered with the corpses of your fellow believers.

Who knows what books anyone read.
Well thanks to our Founding Fathers all of us can know what they, in particular read and used so that we in our modern day can bash ignorant dolts like you about the head with such knowledge.

Jefferson was fluent in several languages, including French.

That's just one man.
Shall I list more?
