              <text>This is a third-person document that protests the policies that the Constitution put forward in the eyes of George Mason. According to Mason, he refused to sign or went against the Constitution because he believed that the document gave too much power to a central government and it lacked a Bill of Rights, which guaranteed individual liberty, as he believes that the laws of the government are important to the Constitutions of several states. In addition, Mason believes that the people aren't secured in the enjoyment of beliefs in common law. In the end, Mason states that he sees the Government will look like an aristocracy, as he thinks that the federalized government would imminently be produced as a monarchy. </text>
