George Mason – 1725-1792

George Mason-1Mason was a Virginia revolutionary leader who, in 1776, drafted his state’s constitution, which included a declaration of rights that inspired Thomas Jefferson to include the concept of “unalienable rights” in the Declaration of Independence. Mason’s constitution and declaration of rights served as models for most of the other states and were the basis for the Bill of Rights—the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
