Volume 5 opens with John Jay taking a leave of absence from his
post as secretary for foreign affairs to serve as a delegate to the
New York Ratifying Convention. Following Jay's appointment as the
first chief justice of the United States, the volume documents his
efforts to establish the federal court system, at both the Supreme
Court and circuit court levels. The volume closes as Jay
reluctantly agrees to return to Great Britain as a special envoy to
negotiate a treaty to resolve the conflicts threatening to engulf
the new nation in war.
