John Lansing Jr. (1754-1829) was a prominent American statesman and Founding Father who played a crucial role in the early years of the United States. Born in Albany, New York, Lansing served as a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1785 to 1786, contributing to the drafting of the Articles of Confederation. He later attended the Constitutional Convention in 1787 but ultimately refused to sign the Constitution due to concerns about the centralization of power. Lansing went on to become a leading figure in New York politics, serving as Chancellor of the State of New York from 1801 to 1814. His dedication to preserving individual liberties and limiting government power left a lasting impact on the shaping of American constitutional principles.
The author, Alexander James Dallas (1759-1817) was a prominent American lawyer, politician, and naval officer. He notably served as the United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1814 to 1816, during a critical period that included the final stages of the War of 1812.
Notable cases in these volumes include: Georgia v. Brailsford, Glass v. Sloop Betsy, Hylton v. United States, Chisholm v. George, and many more.
