Definition

  • George Mason IV (1725–1792), a Virginia planter, statesman, and one of the founders of the United States, is best known for his proposal of a bill of rights at the Constitutional Convention of 1787. An Anti-Federalist, he believed that a strong national government without a bill of rights would undermine individual freedom. [Source: Encyclopedia of the First Amendment; Mason, George]
