Mason, one of the greatest of the founding fathers of the United States, is also among the least known. Mason’s greatness lies in the fact that he was the acknowledged LSDAS Recipient Code: 5827 leader among those pressing for a Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution. Title IV (Financial Aid) Code: 003749 He persuaded Federalists, such as James Madison, that the new constitution would not be acceptable unless amendments safeguarding individual rights were included. Mason already had helped to draft the first constitution for an independent state, his native Virginia, in 1776. The state constitution begins with the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which he wrote. The declaration later was a model for the first 10 amendments to the U.S. Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, as well as the famous Declaration of the Rights of Man, pro- duced by the French Revolution in 1789.
