СТАТЬЯ:
An article presents George Mason, one of the Founding Fathers. His prompt
death in 1792 ruptured his rising status in the national politics. However, his participation
in the building of full-fledged republic is by no means trivial. Widely recognized is his
contribution to political life in Virginia and impact upon the Constitutional Convention.
Primarily Mason defends the Virginia Plan and the whole idea of the federal constitution,
however towards the Convention’s ends, he became more and more sceptic of its results.
After having declined to sign up the Constitution, he came back to Virginia to organize
dissent. Due to his efforts the Bill of Rights was drafted. His opposition to a such organized political superstructure as the Union begun to be shaped shed lights upon the emerging
caveat between republicans and liberals.
