Gouverneur Morris: Architect of Change
This chapter explores Gouverneur Morris's influential role in shaping the U.S. Constitution, particularly during the Committee of Style, where he introduced significant changes that reflected nationalistic views and expanded executive power. It highlights his moral opposition to slavery and his efforts to advocate for the recognition of enslaved individuals as citizens, contrasting his views with the prevailing attitudes of his contemporaries. Additionally, the chapter examines Morris's complex legacy, his decline in recognition among other founding figures, and the reasons behind this historical oversight.
