and james wilson went on circuit in boston at this young lady james wilson was. 50 something years old and this young lady was 19. and he married her and she did look after him for the rest of his life. and if anybody wants to read a lovely book about life in, north carolina at the very end or throughout the years that wilson was on the court my colleague matt natalie wexler wrote a novel called amor obedient wife. and it's about the wilsons and the iredelles and i recommend it to everybody because it gives a very good picture of life in the 1790s and i always worry that people who talk about this course. have no idea what life was like and think of the supreme court of today and therefore cannot really assess the worth of that court. because they are judging it from a different standpoint. but wilson did not have the effect on jurisprudence. would you think he would have given his intellectual abilities? because he just didn't engage enough with the court when he started to get so involved with all these. personal problems western lands debts etc. so he didn't leave much. in the way o

as you note in the book, he studied with james wilson, as well. a connection between them. tell us about jay as chief justice. adams said he had long known as wilson but prefers jay. president washington chooses jay because he trusts him more than wilson. he is so esteemed and all of these ways. he did not serve long but what was he like as chief justice? >> how to put it -- i think all of these early justices suffered. there really not many cases from that period that are still cited today. i went and did some research to see if they had been cited recently. the most important case, georgia the chisolm. or chisolm the georgia, yes. overturned by constitutional amendment almost immediately -- >> yeah. >> let's let walter give it a shot and then we will -- >> yes. >> it does not get cited other than in cases about the 11th amendment. sort of cited as background. justice alito cited it recently in a dissent, talking about the reason why it was necessary to provide a neutral forum in disputes. and then as you alluded to, the camps after not long in 1794. an imminent war with gr

we have about three pages on james wilson in the volumes. . specifically, on james wilson . but he is a very interesting person and he came from scotland in 1765 and then very quickly, got involved in revolutionary activities in the 70s. he was very well educated. he had gone to st. andrews in scotland. philosophy, history, political theory, and all of that showed throughout his career. he was never trained specifically as a lawyer he became, he read law, i think, with john dickinson. but i am trying to remember. i finished these volumes in 2006 and since then, i have been living in the 20th century so it's hard to remember all of this. but i think he certainly had a political theory when he was delegate to the constitutional convention and was very important in the convention and in the pennsylvania the pennsylvania ratifying convention. where he easily convinced them that they should vote for the constitution. and he very much wanted to be chief justice. there's no question. george washington was a very shrewd administrator and understood what was needed. and believes that

james wilson james wilson from pennsylvania, brilliant law professor at the university of pennsylvania, becomes supreme court justice and gambles his spec debts go bad and he dies, being pursued by his creditor, butler is the biggest slave holder and then dies of disease in an boardinghouse broke and disgraced. but what he did is come up with the idea that we, the people of the united states, as a whole have the sovereign power, not the king and not the states, as as states. and that shift in sovereignty gives a theory of popular ratification. so it's okay that the constitution is illegal. according to the articles, the article, you need unanimous consent and you say they broke that rule in allowing for a smaller of the states to ratify. but the reason is because the states called special convention organs representing the people and because there's a special procedure and because the deliberation is thoughtful and about principles and not about immediate legislative interest, the constitution is ratified, has a special legal status which is higher than that of an ordinary law. and the

james wilson writes it up in this piece called the essay concerning the extent of legislative authority, which i saw the pennsylvania historical society right before. it was so thrilling to see that first sentence. and then i thought, am i going to get this transcribed? i look and gosh, the quill project put it online. it was just so cool so i could go through, follow what we footnotes and see that had that document by his side. and of course he had george mason's virginia declaration of rights, which whose preamble sounds an awful declaration and talks about the pursuit of happiness. so it's so important. all this is this is not some academic thesis i'm putting forward this. it's it's absolutely lousy with the idea that every single moral source on which the founders relied from these different traditions all use phrase and they all have you ask, what does it mean? they have similar conception of it. there's a remarkable unanimity of of what it doesn't mean for thing, but what it means. and these are not men who necessarily got along ideologically. they didn't get along at all. ideolog

bowler james anderson's final test — the all time leading wicket taker was upstaged by gus atkinson's stunning bowling — who led the way with the best figures by an england debutant for 29 years. joe wilsonying he did not want any fuss, he knew there would be because the state began with the occasional montage of his greatest moments on the big screen and when anderson walked on the pavilion steps he would've been able to look up and see his family. his daughters rang the bell to start the day and in this test match career. anderson open the bowling for england but atkinson was the dominant figure on this debut in seven wickets, he bowled with real pace close to 90 mph and accuracy in helpful conditions against their very inexperienced west indies batting line—up and players who had very little meaningful match practice in english conditions, 121 all out sadly, the kind of thing he might�*ve predicted but remember, atkinson is a long—term selection for england and they reckon he'll be able to do this kind of thing in australia and the ashes, never mind english conditions in july. anderson did make a contribution to the final innings in the 700 and the crowd enjoyed that. and the reply ba

wilson reports. well, whenjoshua da silva of west indies became james anderson's 704th test wicket, he experienced theny of those who have come before him — leaning forward to play at a delivery, finding the ball taking his outside edge, caught and gone. sadly, because of the weakness, really, in west indies�* batting, there was no sense of tension about the outcome of the match here. the realjeopardy was whetherjames anderson could take the final wicket with his final act in cricket. he should have done — put down a pretty simple caught and bowled chance. but it is right, i think, that at least some of the attention will be shared by gus atkinson, who took that final wicket, took 12 in the match on his debut. now, he is the kind of bowler that england think will help them win back the ashes. in these kind of conditions against inexperienced batters, james anderson is still at the top of his game, almost at the age of 42 as he finishes his career, and i think making that contribution will give him the most satisfaction. lewis, much, much more on the bbc sport website, on those stories and many more. y
