Also, that many delegates refused to attend the Constitutional Convention? That was because they had no desire for a centralized government, and as representatives of their state they knew that was not what the people wanted either. Most colonists at the time were perfectly content with the idea of state sovereignty.…

    Patrick Henry’s intricate “Liberty of Death” speech was an imperative moment in american history. Patrick Henry, inspired by the taxation and limited freedom, create a speech out of thin air.
