| Summary |
George Mason IV was an American Patriot, statesman and a delegate from Virginia to the U.S. Constitutional Convention. Along with James Madison, he is called the "Father of the United States Bill of Rights." For these reasons, he is considered one of the "Founding Fathers" of the United States. It is because of Mason's ardent calling for a Bill of Rights for his native state of Virginia's constitution that the Philadelphia Convention began discussing the U.S. Constitution having a Bill of Rights. |
