Episode Description

In 1787, Virginia delegate George Mason refused to sign the U.S. Constitution — a shocking act for one of its principal architects. His “Objections to the Constitution” laid out, point by point, the dangers of excessive federal power and the absence of a Bill of Rights. Mason warned that without explicit protections, liberty itself would be at risk.
This episode of Making a Great America tells the story of the Founder who chose principle over popularity — whose dissent gave birth to the Bill of Rights, ensuring that freedom in America would be guaranteed, not assumed.
