George Mason was a prominent advocate for individual liberties and a key figure in the drafting of the U.S. Constitution. His arguments centered around the necessity of a Bill of Rights to protect citizens from potential government overreach and tyranny. He believed that without explicit protections for individual rights, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, the new government could infringe upon the liberties of the people. Mason's insistence on these rights played a crucial role in the eventual adoption of the Bill of Rights in 1791.
