Charles Evans Hughes

From Conservapedia

Charles Evans Hughes (b. 1862, d. 1948) served as a Republican Governor of New York (1907-1910) after defeating William Randolph Hearst, was narrowly defeated for President by Democrat Woodrow Wilson in 1916, served as Secretary of State under the Republican Administrations of Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge in the 1920s, and served as Associate Justice (1910-1916)and as Chief Justice of the United States (1930-1941).

Hughes favored joining the League of Nations, and convened the Washington Conference in 1921 to disarm the major countries. He was a "moderate" Republican like Republicans from the northeast today, and was not as conservative as President Harding. As Chief Justice, Hughes opposed President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's court-packing plan, but relented to the New Deal and upheld some of it.

Bored by public school at age 6, Hughes requested that his parents homeschool him. His parents homeschooled Hughes from age 6 to about age 12, and when Hughes then enrolled in public school, he progressed so quickly that he graduated from high school at age 13.

Hughes was a Baptist.
