He was the pr
23、incipal author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which, because of its early formation, greatly influenced other state constitutions framed during the Revolution and, through them, the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791.Yet Mason was essentially a private person with very little inclination for pub
24、lic office or the ordinary operation of politics beyond the country level. His appearances in the Virginia colonial and state legislatures were relatively brief, and not until 1787 did he consent to represent his state at a continental or national congress or convention.

42、light up a cigarette without first asking if it will disturb them.At American restaurants and coffee shops you are usually served tap water before you order.
