Patrick Henry and George Mason favored a more decentralized government that emphasized states' rights and individual liberties over a strong national government. They were concerned that a powerful central authority could lead to tyranny and the erosion of freedoms. Both advocated for a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties and sought a government structure that limited federal power while empowering state and local governance. Their views reflected a deep mistrust of centralized authority, stemming from their experiences during the colonial period.
