be the masters.

more than him

John Hancock had health issues which

caused his absence at the Convention.

Rebellion made Sam Adams retire from

politics; best friends with Thomas

Even though he was great friends with

Madison and Jefferson, once the

Constitution was written, Monroe felt the

document gave too much power to the

government and did not protect

individual rights enough; will help create

He was Jefferson's protege (apprentice)

before he became the 5th president... He

was ready for the strong central

government; Did not attend the

convention

He supported James Madison and the

Federalists 100%, which helped him

become a future president; Anti-

Federalist

He believed everyone is entitled to the

natural rights of "Life, Liberty, and the

Pursuit of Happiness"... and if the

government does not protect these

rights, then revolution is necessary.

His creation of the Articles of

Confederation were supported by Patrick

Henry and Sam Adams.

me Liberty, or Give Me Death"

and its debates and discussions

Wrote letters back and forth to Thomas
