title="United States Constitution">United States Constitution</a> as a delegate from <a href="/wiki/Virginia" title="Virginia">Virginia</a> and was appointed an Associate Justice on the first <a href="/wiki/U.S._Supreme_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Supreme Court">U.S. Supreme Court</a> by <a href="/wiki/George_Washington" title="George Washington">George Washington</a>. </p><p>A Virginia lawyer since 1757, Blair represented the <a href="/wiki/College_of_William_and_Mary" class="mw-redirect" title="College of William and Mary">College of William and Mary</a> in the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Burgesses" title="House of Burgesses">House of Burgesses</a> (while his father served on the Governor's Council) and served in various colonial offices after giving up his local law practice. In the prelude to the American Revolutionary War, Blair had served as a commissioner of admiralty to enforce regulations promulgated by the Virginia Revolutionary Conventions, then on the committee that prepared the Virginia Declaration of Rights and the Virginia Constitution of 1776. He served for over a year on the Council of State before being appointed as one of the judges of the General Court, the new Commonwealth's first appellate court. He also served on the High Court of Chancery, which was a predecessor of the Virginia Court of Appeals (now the <a href="/wiki/Virginia_Supreme_Court" class="mw-redirect" title="Virginia Supreme Court">Virginia Supreme Court</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Blair was one of the best-trained jurists of his day. A widely respected legal scholar, he avoided the tumult of state politics, preferring to work behind the scenes. He was devoted to the idea of a permanent union of the newly independent states and was a loyal supporter of fellow Virginians <a href="/wiki/James_Madison" title="James Madison">James Madison</a> and at the <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_Convention_(United_States)" title="Constitutional Convention (United States)">Constitutional Convention</a>. While serving on the Supreme Court, he influenced the interpretation of the Constitution in a number of important decisions. Contemporaries praised Blair for his ability to penetrate to the heart of legal questions, as well as his gentleness and benevolence. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life_and_education">Early life and education</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Blair_Jr.&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life and education"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>John Blair was born in <a href="/wiki/Williamsburg,_Virginia" title="Williamsburg, Virginia">Williamsburg</a>, <a href="/wiki/Colony_of_Virginia" title="Colony of Virginia">Colony of Virginia</a>, in 1732, to Mary (Monro) (1726–1768) and her merchant and politician husband, <a href="/wiki/John_Blair_Sr." title="John Blair Sr.">John Blair</a>. They had a large family, with ten or twelve children by various accounts, and John was the fourth child, and the eldest surviving son.

He began his public career shortly after the close of the <a href="/wiki/French_and_Indian_War" title="French and Indian War">French and Indian War</a> with his election to the seat reserved for the College of William and Mary in the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Burgesses" title="House of Burgesses">House of Burgesses</a> (1766–1799). He went on to become clerk of the Governor's Council, the upper house of the colonial legislature (1770–1780). </p><p>Blair originally joined the moderate wing of the <a href="/wiki/Patriot_(American_Revolution)" title="Patriot (American Revolution)">Patriot</a> cause. He opposed <a href="/wiki/Patrick_Henry" title="Patrick Henry">Patrick Henry</a>'s extremist resolutions in protest of the <a href="/wiki/Stamp_Act_1765" title="Stamp Act 1765">Stamp Act</a>, but the dissolution of the House of Burgesses by Parliament profoundly altered his views. In response to a series of taxes on the colonies passed by Parliament, Blair joined <a href="/wiki/George_Washington" title="George Washington">George Washington</a> and others in 1770 and again in 1774 to draft nonimportation agreements which pledged their supporters to cease importing British goods until the taxes were repealed. In 1775, he reacted to the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">British Parliament</a>'s passage of the <a href="/wiki/Intolerable_Acts" title="Intolerable Acts">Intolerable Acts</a> by joining those calling for a <a href="/wiki/Continental_Congress" title="Continental Congress">Continental Congress</a> and pledging support for the people of <a href="/wiki/Boston" title="Boston">Boston</a> who were suffering economic hardship because of Parliament's actions. </p><p>When the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolution" title="American Revolution">American Revolution</a> began, Blair became deeply involved in the government of his state. He served as a member of the convention that drew up <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Virginia" title="Constitution of Virginia">Virginia's constitution</a> (1776) and held a number of important committee positions, including a seat on the Committee of 28 that framed the <a href="/wiki/Virginia_Declaration_of_Rights" title="Virginia Declaration of Rights">Virginia Declaration of Rights</a> and plan of government. He served on the Privy Council, Governor Patrick Henry's major advisory group (1776–1778). The legislature elected him to a judgeship in the general court in 1778 and soon to the post of chief justice. He was also elected to Virginia's high court of chancery (1780). The judicial appointments automatically made Blair a member of Virginia's first court of appeals. On the Virginia Court of Appeals, Blair participated in <i>The Commonwealth of Virginia v. Caton et al.</i> (1782), which set the precedent that courts can deem legislative acts unconstitutional.
