George Mason actually had three pages of handwritten objections, but the main ones were:

1. The Constitution as originally drafted did not contain a declaration of rights. The Bill of Rights was added later.

2. The powers of the President and Senate were dangerously extensive.

3. The Vice President as President of the Senate combined the executive and legislative branches to a degree that would endanger the concept of separation of powers of the three branches of government.
