SInce we're getting facts straight I thought I would interject a bit. Only three men stood against the Constitution without a Bill of Rights, Elbridge Gerry, George Mason and Thomas Jefferson (in a letter form France to James Madison). However Elbridge was no Anti-federalist - he whole heartily supported Hamilton and his ideas. He just understood what a governent could do to the people without a proper leash.
George Mason penned them himself. Without his hustling on it, we have been denied the chance to watch incredible principles erode away before our very eyes.
