Thank you for this very interesting documentary. My husband was a direct descendant of this remarkable man by his granddaughter marrying into my marriage family's name. When I viewed the painting of John Jay at the beginning of this documentary I was amazed that my husband had some of the facial features of his great-grandfather. Our two children have inherited two of his family's serving spoons etched with JJ.

So many great men helped create this wonderful country. They all served in different capacities, some large, others small, but all very important. Were they perfect men? No, neither the nation they established, but the inherit desire for personal liberty changed the world.

Very interesting and informative. Mr. Jay deserves to have his contribution acknowledged. Thank you from Missouri.

Thank You for this very well researched documentary on Chief Justice John Jay. He is a founder mostly known here in NY, especially NYC as his association to history is more with the North East colonial America. By the time the US extends west of the Mississippi he was already retired and elderly. Moreover, his son was mostly a lawyer here in the North East. Fun Fact: Within the City University of New York there is a college that bears his name that is dedicated to the study of CIty, State and Federal Law. Cheers from NYC.

SUBSCRIBED. I was born & raised in Westchester County, and your account of John Jay is much appreciated. His work, I believe, has been underappreciated over many decades.

Yes, John Jay deserves equal recognition with the other Founding Fathers. He did his best; and the "best" efforts of the Founding Fathers were EXTRAORDINARY.

''Alexander joins forces with James Madison And John Jay to write a series of essays Defending the new United States Constitution Entitled The Federalist Papers The plan was to write a total of 25 essays The work divided evenly among the three men In the end, they wrote 85 essays In the span of six months John Jay got sick after writing five James Madison wrote 29 Hamilton wrote the other 51''

The portrait of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the great lexicographer, poet, and raconteur , has here been mistakenly cited as a representation of Samuel Johnson, first president of King’s College of NYC. They do look a bit alike.

Thank you for a well done documentary. I did not know of John Jay.

What fun! A British narrator. Was the writer American, a citizen of the UK or other? That questionable treaty of 1893 did provide for America's keeping what we now call the North Central portion of the United States under the ultimate control of the federal gov't. I don't think there's any American who would mind one of the framers having supported the British in a number of ways so long as our economic concerns were honored. Jay and Marshall are generally seen as the two most overlooked framers. If you haven't done a video on the second Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that would be marvelous.

thank you People Profiles

From the first time that I read his contributions to the Federalist Papers I've been an admirer of John Jay. This documentary only enhances my opinion of the man. I believe that there needs to be more attention given to him in the schools where American history is taught.

You delivered a great summary of John Jay s life&devotion to uniersal rights of all citizens,and leter to abolition of slavery.I had not known these facts&thank you for this,particularily from my position as a biblicist believer. Very good.Dr.Bob Funk 73😊

Incredible man.

INTERESTING TITLE BECAUSE SINCE MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DAYS I HAVE SAID JAY WAS THE FORGOTTEN FOUNDING FATHER FOR WHAT HE DID HE DESERVES WAY MORE ATTENTION...

I would love to see a documentary on James K. Polk. Even though he's a President, I'd wager most people don't know who he is. What's astounding about him to me was his tenacious work ethic and principles about holding office. He died a few months after his term ended. Some say he worked himself to death.

Excellent!!!

Wonderful presentation of a great American. Heavenly Father knows who he is. Not everyone is a George Washington or a Peter, James and John. He was not there for self aggrandizement. Hopefully more Americans will learn of him. Thank you.

Most illuminating. For those originalists who regard the Constitution as immutable Holy Writ it should be clear that the Founders were anything but unanimous about the language or meaning or intent. Btw if you’re ever near Katonah NY stop by the John Jay House, a superb restoration.

John Jay was a member of the Federalist Party whom I oppose. The entire concept is what has the US in trouble today. The original concept was the better one which was a decentralise government.

Lots of information 😮very interesting

Not really forgotten because the Jay family still are prominent figures in Williamsburg Virginia.

Great video! What about James Wilson? Wilson had a big impact on the constitution, became one of first Supreme Court justice but died after being imprisoned for bankruptcy

I remembered John Jay McCloy 🦅🇺🇸

Thanks for a fascinating video covering a fascinating man and his impact on history. I've got to say, this channel produces some of the most well produced and thoroughly researched biographical films. It's more like a university worthy lecture than some of the 'documentaries' that major media organisations produce these days, where they only want to focus on rebisionism and pushing an emotional political narrative that suits the current day, instead a fair consideration of people and their deeds in light of the socio-cultural context of the day. I certainly prefer the matter of fact style of videos like this one!

QUOTE: "...worked on the New York State constitution, favoring a legislature with two houses and a powerful executive, reflecting his anxieties about giving the people too much power..." Now we know why NY is the way it is. Another thing that I found interesting... QUOTE: "...The Chief Justice (Jay) refused and wrote to Hamilton, "The national government has only to do what is right and if possible be silent."

I think the anarchy of 2020 perfectly demonstrates the perils of weak institutions and the general public acting upon unreliable information and populist politics - i.e. mass demonstrations and riots influenced by foreign agents resulting in the destruction of private and public property, along with deaths. Plus, all of the COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and the common refusal to help control the spread of the disease. Even today, just look at the strength of climate change deniers in America. It's astounding! You have more rights and freedoms than most people. I'm not sure you could hold the country together with less governance and / or a weaker institutional legal system.

At best, as Milton says, fame is "the last infirmity of noble mind," and is more often petty egotism. John Jay could rest assured that he made massive contributions to the success of the new nation, and that's all that matters. Substance.

39 minutes in to the video the flag shown with 13 stars when and why did that come to be from the circular pattern of stars with red and white stripes ? Have to research that I guess. John Jay with out question was an very interesting figure as an American involved to bring forth ideals to actions . How ever Almighty fate had it be for him as for it will for people of today still using words and writings to convince others towards consensus this still exists however the popularity being honest as an individual with pride in honor is lost for people of John Jay times would die for their ideals and today they only will kill for theirs.
