Georgia Delegation
Constitutional framing and state representation during the 1787 Constitutional Convention; historical influence on later constitutional interpretation and jurisprudenceDescription
Collective of Georgia's delegates to the 1787 Constitutional Convention who function as a historical actor in the episode. They represent state-level interests during framing debates, including at least one member who opposed explicitly enumerating a Bill of Rights out of concern that listing rights would confine future interpretations. Their legacy informs arguments about unenumerated rights and constitutional interpretation.
