Explanation:

After several years of a relatively weak government under the Articles of Confederation, a Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia proposed a new constitution on September 17, 1787, which offered among other changes a stronger leadership. George Mason, a delegate of the Constitutional Convention and the editor of the Virginia Bill of Rights, proposed that the Constitution include a charter of rights listing and guaranteeing civil liberties. Other delegates - including the future editor of the Bill of Rights James Madison - disagreed, arguing that civil liberties in the states were sufficient and that any attempt to enumerate individual rights jeopardized the implication that other rights not listed were not They were protected. Mason's proposal was defeated by a unanimous vote of state delegations.
