Chapter 1992 "Eagle" and "Dove" (10)

Constituencies are different from state boundaries. State boundaries in the United States look very straight, but constituencies are not so distorted yet. It may be that Americans have not yet discovered the rare salamander.

When there was a dispute over a vote, there was one place where it could be decided, and that was the Supreme Court. Before Jefferson was inaugurated and Adams left office, Adams made one last appointment, appointing some Rhode Island senators like Ray Greene to local seats.

Court judges fill the vacancies in the circuit courts caused by the promotion of some judges.

However, in a hurry, Chief Justice John Marshall of the Supreme Court did not clearly write down that Green was going to take office in the district court. Instead, he filled out an appointment letter appointing him to the circuit court. When Green discovered such a clerical error, he

The petition was sent back for revision, but the new Secretary of State, James Madison, simply shelved the petition and refused to return it.

After deeming Greene's appointment legally invalid, Jefferson appointed Democratic-Republican David Barnes to replace Greene.

So a new "battlefield" opened up. In addition to Greene, William Marbury also had a similar issue of commission. The Constitution stipulates that once the nomination has been approved by the Senate, it constitutes an appointment, and the president should grant him a commission.

The Marbury case involved not only the constitutional status of the commission, but also a series of legal proceedings before magistrates and sheriffs.

One of the characteristics of witch hunts is that the "snowball" keeps getting bigger and bigger. Another thing is that the Salem Witch Trials were carried out by secular judges, not religious inquisitions.

Macusa decided to completely separate from the Muggle world. Perhaps this would avoid involving wizarding interests due to the replacement of secular judges, but it also meant that other problems would arise.

All in all, there are currently no judges in French wizards who are familiar with the international law of secrecy. If the trial process cannot be avoided, should it be tried at the French Ministry of Magic or sent to the British Ministry of Magic?

Let British judges conduct trials on French soil? Are you kidding me?

"Damn Malfoy," Georgiana cursed.

A new president means new rules. Both George Washington and John Adams maintained the habit of weekly audience days and holidays. However, after Jefferson took office, he abolished the audience day system and replaced it with meetings almost every night during congressional sessions.

A small dinner was held, and most of the guests were legislators.

Georgiana thought of Josephine's difficulties again. Even as a person who loved making friends, she was tired of seeing so many people every day. Then the lobbyist DuPont happened.

Conditions and overweights were added bit by bit. If it was said at the beginning that Louisiana would be sold for 80 million francs, maybe "someone" would take the bait, and then say that 20 million francs would be left to compensate the local residents, in order to end this annoying situation as soon as possible.

"So-and-so" impulsively agreed to the transaction.

This is a common bargaining tactic. Josephine is a noble and she never considers the price when she spends her money. Maybe Monroe hoped to gain a relationship from Georgiana at first, but now she has become very close to those guys.

, that’s why he didn’t come to her.

He saw that she was trying to prevent the United States from acquiring Louisiana, so she spoke so ruthlessly.

All in all, you can't hide. I left after the welcome meeting in the evening to avoid staying in Le Havre for too long and causing nightmares.

"Leila, Matilda!" shouted Georgiana.

Not long after, the two of them pushed open her bedroom door and came in.

Matilda was not surprised, and Leila's face turned red. Only then did Georgiana remember that she was so embarrassed that she wrapped herself in a shawl and went to the small living room outside.

"Tell me what happened yesterday? Who upset him?" Georgiana asked Matilda.

"Yesterday morning the First Consul and municipal officials inspected the pier. Because the entrance to the pier was blocked by sand, he ordered the construction of a...a..."

"Sand sluice chamber." Leila answered on Matilda's behalf, "It can store a certain amount of water, and then use the amount of water to wash away the silt or sand. It's like pouring a basin of water to wash away the dirt at the door."

Georgiana was a little unhappy, Leila made her feel threatened.

Perhaps because her expression changed, Leila stopped talking.

"How was he feeling at that time?" Georgiana asked Matilda.

"Very good. In the afternoon, the First Consul convened local businessmen. However, there were many people at the meeting who kept trying to persuade the First Consul to obtain the maximum benefits of trade. Only one person convinced him."

"who?"

Matilda looked at Leila.

"Do you know him?" Georgiana asked Leila.

"Yes, madam." Leila said in a tone consistent with aristocratic etiquette, "He is the owner of the Le Havre shipping company, Mr. Martin-Pierre Fouche."

"Add him to the list, and you two will send the invitation to him personally later." Georgiana said, "This is someone else's place. We are guests. There can be no more guests than the host."

"I understand, ma'am," said Matilda.

Georgiana looked at Leila again and found that she wore much less jewelry than the first time they met, which made her think Leila was more pleasing to the eye.

"I hope you know that I am not deliberately poor or frugal, but money needs to be used rationally. Before pursuing money, consider whether doing so can keep your mind calm. Come to a place and buy some local things that can help others.

I'll give you another 50,000 francs. You can go out and call Ferriere later. I'll write a letter to Sèvre and you can go to the bank and withdraw the cash."

"Yes, ma'am," said Matilda.

"Take Margaret with you. Last time she went to the University of Rouen with me, she was very frightened." She smiled and said, "Remember to bring a guard with you this time. The dock is not a safe place."

"Don't have a list?" Matilda asked.

"You act according to the situation." Georgiana looked at Leila, "Remember to ask Mr. Fouche more."

Leila nodded.

"Don't go crazy and come back before four o'clock in the afternoon." Georgiana said.

"Yes, ma'am."

The two girls left happily.

Not long after, Philly entered her room.

"Still in the same format as last time, write a letter to Sèvres and I want to withdraw 50,000 francs." Georgiana said.

"Written by hand?" Philyl asked.

"Remember to bring your typewriter next time," she said helplessly.

While Feryl was writing a letter, Georgiana walked to the window and looked out at the scenery outside the window. Perhaps it was because the rain had stopped and the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, making the sky less depressing.

Maybe this hotel is not the one with the best facilities in Le Havre, but the view here is probably the best.

She breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a blue calm.
