When               George               Mason               University,               located               in               Virginia,               defeated               top               seeded               Connecticut               in               the               2006               NCAA               men's               basketball               tournament               there               were               many               people               rushing               to               their               history               books               to               see               when               the               last               time               such               an               upset               took               place.

What               most               of               these               individuals               should               have               been               researching               is               the               man               the               school               was               named               for,               George               Mason               himself.

Few               realize               what               an               impact               George               Mason               had               on               our               country's               history;               he               was               the               man               most               responsible               for               the               Bill               of               Rights               and               a               highly               regarded               statesman.

George               Mason               wore               many               hats               during               a               most               important               time               in               the               birth               of               the               United               States.

He               was               a               judge,               statesman,               member               of               the               Virginia               legislature,               author,               and               one               of               the               leading               voices               in               opposition               to               British               tyranny.

Despite               owning               slaves,               he               hated               slavery,               and               was               in               favor               of               its               abolition.
               On               December               11th,               1725,               George               Mason               was               born               to               George               and               Ann               Thomson               Mason.

George               was               the               fourth               in               a               line               of               wealthy               landowner               Masons.

George's               father               drowned               in               a               Potomac               River               boating               accident               in               1736,               leaving               his               uncle,               John               Mercer,               as               his               tutor.

Mercer               had               one               of               the               largest               libraries               in               the               colonies,               and               George               Mason               educated               himself               by               devouring               the               contents               of               this               collection               of               books.

When               he               came               of               age,               he               took               over               his               father's               plantation,               building               his               home,               Gunston               Hall.

As               one               of               the               richest               men               in               Virginia,               Mason               was               establishing               himself               as               an               important               figure               in               the               community.
               George               Mason               married               Anne               Eilbeck               in               1750;               in               twenty               three               years               of               marriage               together               they               had               nine               children               {five               sons               and               four               daughters}.

In               1752,               Mason               was               able               to               acquire               an               interest               in               the               Ohio               Company,               a               business               organization               that               speculated               in               western               land.

Mason               would               later               write               his               first               major               state               paper,               Extracts               from               the               Virginia               Charters,               with               Some               Remarks               upon               Them,               when               England               revoked               the               company's               rights.

British               royal               policy               prohibited               any               settlement               west               of               the               Appalachians,               but               the               Ohio               Company               lobbied               to               change               that.

When               the               French               and               Indian               war               began               on               the               frontier,               Mason               became               a               supply               agent               for               troops               commanded               by               his               Virginia               neighbor,               George               Washington.

He               earned               the               rank               of               colonel               in               the               Virginia               militia               this               way,               despite               having               never               served               in               the               field.
               Mason               began               to               get               involved               with               politics,               becoming               a               justice               of               the               Fairfax               County               court,               and               a               trustee               of               the               city               of               Alexandria               from               1754               to               1759.

He               was               elected               to               the               Virginia               House               of               Burgesses               in               1759               and               when               the               Stamp               Act               of               1765               caused               outrage               in               the               colonies,               George               wrote               an               open               letter               to               a               committee               of               London               merchants               to               enlist               their               help.

The               oppressive               British               taxation               of               the               colonies,               under               King               George               III,               caused               Mason               to               write               "To               the               Committee               of               Merchants               in               London";               his               letter               was               published               in               the               London               Public               Ledger.

As               the               taxation               issue               became               even               more               important,               Mason               got               behind               a               movement               that               resolved               to               boycott               British               products.
               As               the               impending               Revolution               neared,               George               Mason               lost               his               wife               to               complications               from               having               twins,               who               did               not               survive               past               six               weeks               old.

Although               he               had               a               plantation               to               oversee               and               nine               children               to               raise,               in               July               1774,               Mason               wrote               the               "Fairfax               Resolves",               which               was               a               statement               of               the               colonists'               position.

With               Washington               named               Commander-in-Chief               of               the               Continental               Army,               Mason               was               urged               to               take               his               seat               in               the               Virginia               Legislature.

Mason               was               less               than               enthralled               with               this               responsibility               and               the               squabbling               amongst               the               lawmakers               caused               him               to               become               disenchanted.

In               a               letter               to               Washington,               he               wrote               that               "I               was               never               in               so               disagreeable               a               situation,               and               almost               despaired               of               a               cause               which               I               saw               so               ill               conducted.

Mere               vexation               and               disgust               threw               me               into               such               an               ill               state               of               health               that               before               the               convention               rose,               I               was               sometimes               near               fainting               in               the               House."               As               things               began               to               get               better               he               admitted               that               "after               some               weeks,               the               babblers               were               pretty               well               silenced               and               a               few               weighty               members               began               to               take               the               lead."               He               was               one               of               them.
               A               bit               of               a               hypochondriac,               Mason               was               often               late               for               legislative               sessions               with               a               variety               of               excuses.

But               despite               this,               he               was               highly               regarded               for               his               wisdom               and               abilities.

During               a               six               week               period               in               May               and               June               of               1776,               Mason               wrote               a               state               constitution               and               bill               of               rights               for               Virginia.

Mason               felt               strongly               that               "there               never               was               a               government               over               a               very               extensive               country               without               destroying               the               liberties               of               the               people,"               and               his               bill               of               rights               was               a               way               to               insure               this               did               not               happen.

A               committee               added               few               changes               to               his               document               and               it               was               adopted.

When               1776               came               to               an               end,               five               colonies               had               adopted               similar               declarations               of               rights;               by               1783               every               state               had               a               form               of               a               bill               of               rights.

Almost               fifty               years               later,               Thomas               Jefferson               would               write               that               "the               fact               is               unquestionable               that               the               Bill               of               Rights               and               the               Constitution               of               Virginia               were               drawn               originally               by               George               Mason."               
               The               Declaration               of               Rights               was               approved               by               the               Assembly               on               June               12,               1776               and               a               little               over               two               weeks               later               a               final               draft               of               Mason's               state               constitution               was               approved.

In               1780,               Mason               left               office,               feeling               that               the               new               government               was               going               to               get               off               the               ground.

He               married               once               more,               to               Sarah               Brent,               and               went               back               to               live               at               Gunston               Hall,               telling               anyone               who               would               listen               that               he               had               no               further               intent               on               serving               in               the               legislature.

But               the               Constitutional               Convention               of               1787               saw               Mason               agree               to               go               to               Philadelphia               as               one               of               Virginia's               delegates.

He               complained               upon               arriving               in               the               city               that               he               had               begun               "to               grow               heartily               tired               of               the               etiquette               and               nonsense               so               fashionable               in               this               city."               He               changed               his               mind               however               when               he               saw               how               serious               the               business               of               drafting               the               country's               constitution               was,               saying               "the               eyes               of               the               United               States               are               turned               upon               this               assembly,               may               God               grant               that               we               may               be               able               to               gratify               them,               by               establishing               a               wise               and               just               government."
               All               through               the               convention,               Mason               spoke               in               favor               of               the               rights               of               individuals               and               the               states               as               opposed               to               the               federal               government.

He               was               firmly               against               a               proposed               ten               mile-square               Federal               district               that               became               the               District               of               Columbia.

It               would               eventually               be               located               a               short               distance               from               his               home.

He               was               strongly               in               favor               of               popular               elections,               unrestricted               admission               of               any               new               western               states,               and               a               three-part               executive               branch               system               of               government.

Compromises               on               these               issues               were               reached,               but               Mason               was               put               off               by               an               agreement               to               allow               slavery               for               another               twenty               years.

Despite               being               a               slaveholder               himself               he               felt               that               "every               master               of               slaves               is               born               a               petty               tyrant."               He               favored               abolition               as               soon               as               economically               possible               and               wanted               to               stop               all               future               slave               importation.
               Mason               finally               had               had               enough               on               September               12,               1787,               when               his               proposal               to               include               a               bill               of               rights               in               the               new               Constitution               was               defeated.

Federalists               were               against               the               idea,               but               Mason               penned               a               three-page               list               of               objections               that               were               published               in               the               Pennsylvania               Packet               on               October               4th.

This               work               was               in               opposition               to               the               "Federalist               Papers",               written               during               the               ratification               debate.

The               Virginia               ratification               convention               saw               Mason's               proposal               defeated               by               a               vote               of               89-79,               with               the               new               constitution               being               ratified               in               the               state               and               finally               in               the               country.

The               friendship               of               Mason               and               Washington               became               a               victim               of               the               heated               quarrels.


               James               Madison               would               eventually               introduce               a               bill               of               rights               that               were               based               on               Mason's               beliefs               to               the               first               session               of               Congress.

When               it               was               passed,               it               left               Mason               very               happy,               with               only               the               slavery               issue               as               a               sticking               point.

George               Mason               died               on               October               7th,               1792,               at               the               age               of               sixty               six.

To               the               end               he               remained               available               to               give               advice               to               the               fledgling               nation's               leaders.
