John Jay (1745-1829) was a Founding Father who urged ratification of the U.S. Constitution, although he was unable to attend the Constitutional Convention. Indeed, Jay wrote a few of the Federalist Papers and later served on the U.S. Supreme Court as the first Chief Justice.
A devout Christian, John Jay is called the "father of American conservatism."
