INTRODUCTION:
“Law of Nations” (written by Emer de Vattel) influence on our Constitution and the unchangeability of “Law of Nature” by Man.
"It came to us in good season, when the circumstances of a rising State make it necessary frequently to consult the Law of Nations.” Benjamin Franklin. I 775
From 1776 to l783, the more the United States progressed, the greater became Vattel’s influence. In 1780, his "Law of Nations" was a classic, a textbook in the universities, he was followed as the most competent, the wisest, and the safest guide, in all the discussions of Congress, in all the trials in court, and in diplomatic correspondence, especially that concerned with questions of legality.
