Morgan White: George Mason
Quotes
-
James Madison : If we could just get the states together, to talk outside their cursed legislatures.
George Mason : Talk? About what?
James Madison : Well, talk about trade, about laws, about a more effective union. About anything. If, if honest, influential men, met together representing their states, men like General Washington, and Dr. Franklin, and yourself, sir. I have the greatest admiration for your writing Virginia's Constitution and her Declaration of Rights. Sir, may I count on your help?
George Mason : I am a friend to your cause, sir. But the indispensable friend is General Washington. As he goes, so goes America.
James Madison : Yes sir. And we must get him. Unless our national government is strengthened, then the states will soon turn to the sword to resolve their separate jealousies.
