Hello, and welcome to a little series I will be doing where I give brief descriptions about each of our 17 Chief Justices. This is meant to be an informative series that potentially sparks discussion about some of the more forgotten Chiefs in American history. I originally posted these on r/supremecourt , before I knew this sub was a thing. Let me know what you think, and remember, I am always willing to hear about anything you might want me to amend or insert when in comes to the paragraphs. I will start with Presidents Washington's record three Chief Justice nominees...
John Jay:
Born- December 12, 1745, in New York
Served - Oct 19, 1789 June 29, 1795
Nominated by- George Washington
Notable Case- Chisholm v. Georgia
Brief description
John Jay is most known for being a Founding Father, and one of the most important outside of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, and the like. He wrote the Federalist Papers along with James Madison and Alexander Hamilton, and was very active in American politics before Washington was elected President. As Chief Justice, he had little to do deciding only 6 cases in 4 years. This was because Judicial Review had not yet been established.
John Rutledge:
Born- September 17, 1739, in South Carolina
Served - Aug 12, 1795 - Dec 28, 1795
Nominated by- George Washington
Notable Case- Talbot v. Janson
Brief description
John Rutledge was only Chief for 128 days, the shortest tenure of any Chief Justice. President Washington appointed Rutledge while the Senate was in recess, and when the Senate finally reconvened to confirm Rutledge, the vote failed. Before he could become the first Chief Justice to be unwillingly removed from the center seat, he resigned. Despite not being confirmed by the Senate, he was commissioned as the Chief Justice and took the Judicial Oath making him an official Chief Justice
Olliver Ellsworth:
Born- April 29, 1745, in Connecticut
Served - Mar 8, 1796 - Dec 15, 1800
Nominated by George Washington
Notable Case- Calder v. Bull
Brief description
Ellsworth is not well remembered today and his tenure as Chief Justice reflects this. Ellsworth did little as Chief Justice, and, near the end of his tenure, most of his time was spent as an envoy to France. Before being Chief Justice he was an inaugural Connecticut Senator where he authored the Judiciary Act of 1789. He also advocated for the Bill of Rights and the Jay Treaty.
Next up: John Marshall, Roger B. Taney, Salmon P. Chase

I keep finding conflicted information on who Anne Rutledge (1650 Ireland/Scotland -1725 Ireland) is. Some genealogy sources say she's Anne Stewart Rutledge (of the Stewarts of Balquhidder) and other sources just list her as Anne Rutledge (1590 Scotland - 1725 Ireland) with no parental or children information.
For comparison, her husband John Rutledge was born 1648 Scotland and died 1717 in Ireland.
I don't know what to do. Everything I research is conflicted.
What should I do?
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The constitutionalists had many candidates for president, however many growing party leaders believing a divided party could cause the republicans to win the presidential election, and henceforth, the constitutionalists decided to hold a convention to nominate their presidential candidate who voters and electors of their party would all rally behind and support.
John Jay:
John Jay from New York is a major supporter of the the John treaty and believes the new nation must have close relations with Great Britain. John Jay is also known for his Protestantism believing non Protestants shouldn’t be allowed to vote or hold political office. He supports moderate to high tarrifs, a national bank, army, internal improvements and the creation of a cabinet, however Jay is more skeptical about domestic taxation than other constitutionalists. John Jay would support a bill of rights if the first amendment was removed from the bill.
John Adams:
John Adams from Massachusetts, well known as a fiery speaker in the continental congress against Great Britain has reluctantly supported the John Treaty viewing it as a necessary compromise, but wishes to try and keep america out of as many conflicts as possible under the terms of the treaty. He is a critic of slavery and supports gradual abolition. He supports high tarrifs, a national army and bank, domestic taxation, internal improvements, the creation of a cabinet and a bill of rights.
John Rutledge:
As an important delegate in the creation of the constitution and a well known figure within South Carolinian politics. He would stay in line with the constitutionalists on a national army, bank and internal improvements but was more centrist on tarrifs. He supports slavery and a bill of rights, opposes the creation of a cabinet and opposed the John treaty believing it should be repealed and that america should distance themselves from Great Britain.
Benjamin Lincoln:
From Massachusetts, Lincoln shared both political and military experience, however his political experience is minimum. He broke the party line on a national army believing the federal government should subsidise state militias. He is also anti slavery but has no proposals

Hello everyone, Alpinia here, and I'm proud to bring to you one of the largest updates to Kaiserreich so far - 0.18 'Forest Brothers'. The new reworked nations brought to you this time around are none other than Bhutan, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Wales and White Ruthenia. But of course, it doesn't stop there, with a whole host of literally hundreds of other additions, improvements and fixes, as detailed in the full patch notes enclosed.
For some of the more prominent changes, check out the abridged patch notes below.
Changes
Notable Additions
- Kaiserreich now has its own implementation of Player-Led Peace Conferences and the State Transfer Tool. These can be activated via game rules, though if you are in debug mode then the State Transfer Tool is available by default. Note that, if you decide to use the PLPC or STT mods anyhow, it won’t break anything - you just won’t get our updates to them.
- Japan’s intervention in China has been modified to be more in line with the vanilla version.
- Japan’s "Fading Sun" peace mechanic with China has now been changed. Russia and China are dealt with by separate scripted peace events, and Japan has different levels of surrender ranging from minor defeat to total capitulation - they no longer lose their faction and all ability to declare war the moment Korea and Manchuria are occupied.
- Total download size of the base mod has been reduced by ~50%, thanks to standardising most gfx to .png format.
- The remainder of the former rework to Kaiserreich’s naval system has now been removed, bringing the naval system fully in line with vanilla's, save for names.
New Focus Trees
- Estonia
- Latvia
- Wales
Reworked/Expanded Focus Trees
- Bhutan
- Lithuania
- Belarus/White Ruthenia
Tweaked Focus Trees
- Independent Belgium (Foreign Policy)
- French Republic (If Germany has fallen before they return to the Métropole)
New Events
- If the Reichspakt dissolves, a German-puppet Brittany will now seek to rejoin the rest of France.
- The Commune of France can now demand Dunkirk from Belgium if the latter asks for an alliance.
- Added peace events between Yunnan and German East Asia, Vietnam & Indochina.
- Added events for the Sino-Japanese War.
- Added some flavour events for the League of Eight Provinces and Liangguang.
- Added an event for Legation Cities upon the end of the American Civil War and some flavour events.
- Added some events regarding the Romanian annexation of Alföld.
- Added an event for Shandong v
It really does, I swear!
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

The 1788–89 United States presidential election was the first quadrennial presidential election. It was held from Monday, December 15, 1788, to Saturday, January 10, 1789, under the new Constitution ratified that same year. George Washington was unanimously elected for the first of his two terms as president and John Adams became the first vice president. This was the only U.S. presidential election that spanned two calendar years without a contingent election.

George Washington Independent
Under the Articles of Confederation, which was ratified in 1781, the United States had no head of state. Separation of the executive function of government from the legislative was incomplete similar to countries that use a parliamentary system. Federal power, strictly limited, was reserved to the Congress of the Confederation whose "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" was also chair of the Committee of the States which aimed to fulfill a function similar to that of the modern Cabinet.
The Constitution created the offices of President and Vice President, fully separating these offices from Congress. The Constitution established an Electoral College, based on each state's Congressional representation, in which each elector would cast two votes for two candidates, a procedure modified in 1804 by the ratification of the Twelfth Amendment. States had varying methods for choosing presidential electors.[2] In five states, the state legislature chose electors. The other six chose electors through some form involving a popular vote, though in only two states did the choice depend directly on a statewide vote in a way even roughly resembling the mod

Welcome to part one of a series I am doing where I give brief descriptions of each of the 17 Chief Justices. I will be doing around two or three per day. Today, I will be starting off with President Washington's record three Chief Justice nominees.
John Jay:
Born- December 12, 1745, in New York
Served - Oct 19, 1789 June 29, 1795
