Patrick Henry (1736-1799), fearing that the federal government would recreate a centralized monarchy, did not attend the Constitutional Convention in 1787. He was an anti-federalist but promoted the Bill of Rights, and by 1798 generally supported the Federalist government under President John Adams.
