Hey G-
I was looking over the history packet for the test, and I realized that under the department heads section, one blank is for the person who handles relations with the other nations-the secretary of state. I had down Edmund Randolf, then you marked it off as John Jay. If John Jay is also the chief justice, how can he be the secretary of state. The book says Thomas Jefferson was secretary of state. Which is right???
Thanks,
Jake
Hey, Jake
This is what I get for thinking on the fly…I get discombobulated. You are right.
Thomas Jefferson was the Sec. of State
Alexander Hamilton was Sec. of Treasury
Henry Knox Sec. of War
Edmund Randolph Attorney General
John Jay was Chief Justice of Supreme Court.
Thanks for keeping me on my toes. I have to keep a list with me
