Focusing on Constitutional Principles  www.cacp.info – # 633 – 8-19-06 – 147 – Donald Conkey   A Founder’s Profile: Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816), one of the “wise men raised up” to help create the U.S. Constitution, was a graduate of King’s College (Columbia University), became a successful lawyer, was elected in 1775 to the provincial congress of New York and then appointed a delegate to the Constitution Convention in 1787 where he played a prominent role (spoke 173 times during the convention), was chairman of the convention’s Committee on Style, wrote the final draft of the Constitution and recorded, for the first time, “the magnificent objectives which the Founders hoped their new government would attain”— the six goals for a government of free people added as the “Preamble to the Constitution of the United States.” Morris was a mighty contributor to our Constitution. Note: “A Founder’s Profile” is new, it was added to provide greater background on those we call America’s Founding Fathers. Source: Skousen’s 5000 Year Leap  - p. 50 - 56
