How did John Jay shape the US Supreme Court?

John Jay was the first Chief Justice of the United States. He presided over the Supreme Court in its first major case, Chisholm v. Georgia, (1793), where the Court made the politically unpopular declaration that states lacked sovereign immunity against law suits for war debt. This triggered a panic among the states that quickly lead to ratification of the Eleventh Amendment, revoking the Supreme Court's right to hear cases brought by citizens of one state against the government of another state. If the Court's verdict had been allowed to stand, the states could have been bankrupted by war claims.The Supreme Court had very little influence in government until it came under the leadership of John Marshall, the fourth Chief Justice of the United States.John Jay was more effective as a Governor and envoy (although his treaties were also unpopular) than as a Chief Justice.
