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.
