George Mason, the Greatest Founding Father?

George Mason University may have made it to the Final Four this year, but George Mason the Founding Father may actually be the most intense and fervent defender of liberty and individual rights of the Founding Fathers. He campaigned against ratifying the Constitution because it did not go far enough to protect individual rights and liberties (slavery was one of his major concerns). Radley Balko, a policy analyst with the CATO Institute wrote a great article on George Mason the Founding Father here, it is a must read.
