After a service at Washington National Cathedral, his eight fellow justices accompanied his body home to Jamestown, in what is believed to be the last time the entire Supreme Court traveled together. Jackson’s funeral was held at St. Luke’s, and buried in Maple Grove Cemetery in nearby Frewsburg.

American judge Francis Biddle, in part, read the Tribunal's reasoning: by signing the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact, Germany had renounced war, making aggressive war "illegal in international law" and a crime for those who wage it. Verdicts came the next day. roberthjackson.org/events #RobertHJackson

It didn't make things perfect. There were injustices then, and there are injustices now. But it promises something rarer: the commitment to keep working toward "a more perfect union." That's worth marking too. A reason to celebrate, and we're celebrating the reason it embodies.

Twelve of the original states had ratified it by the time the new government was underway, with Rhode Island holding out until 1790. (Vermont's a whole separate story: it wasn't even one of the 13 states yet. It was its own independent republic until 1791.)

The stats: 7 articles, 21 numbered sections, and 27 amendments total, 10 of them adopted together as the Bill of Rights. It sets up the players (the three branches of government), spells out what they can and can't do, and hands the judicial branch the job of settling the questions that come up.
