Federalism : The Legacy of George Mason, the George Mason Lecture Series

George Mason, whose Virginia Declaration of Rights served as a model for the U.S.

Bill of Rights, was such an ardent proponent of federalism that he attacked the U.S.

Constitution for its lack of true federalism. This volume in the George Mason Lecture Series examines both Mason's thought and the evolution of America's unique blend of federal principles.
