I am Patrick Henry. I am 51 years of age.
I am an Anti-federalist?
I haven't had much success in my eariler history. I failed at being a planter and a storekeeper. On the other hand, after those two fall outs, i became a successful lawyer and politician! I am the one who stated "Give me liberty or give me death." in March of 1775. In 1787 I got elected as a delegate, but I refuse to serve."Who authorized them to speak the language of We the people? If the states be not the agents of this compact, it must be one great consolidated national government."
I refused to sign the constitution.
"The first thing I have at heart is American liberty; the second thing is American union."
Elbridge Gerry, and George Mason were two of the men that supported me throughout this!
What are your views of the new plan of the government?
"the most fatal plan that could possibly be conceived to enslave a free people."
(Patrick Henry)
