當有人談到美國這個國家的創建教父，他們指的是誰？整體來說，這個人把獨立思潮帶到殖民地，並且制定憲法，以確保新國家的民主以及各方力量的均衡；他出生於1745年12月，紐約州一個具聲望且富裕的家庭。傑伊進入哥倫比亞大學，研習法律，在紐約建立了極佳聲譽，獲選為第一屆和第二屆州立議會的代表議員，這個團體的主要功能就在於討論殖民地要如何向英國宣告獨立。


When someone talks about the founding fathers of the United States, to whom are they referring? Generally it's the men that helped to bring independence to the Colonies and create a Constitution that would ensure democracy and a balance of powers in the new country. One of these men is John Jay. Born on December 12, 1745, to a prominent and wealthy family in the Province of New York, Jay attended Columbia University and then practiced law. Establishing a reputation in New York, Jay was elected to serve as delegate to the First and Second Continental Congresses. These groups debated whether the Colonies should declare independence from Britain.
