General, not central
'''Gouverneur Morris''' (January 31, 1752 – November 6, 1816) was a statesman, ambassador, orator, senator, [[Founding Fathers|Founding Father]], and the person most responsible for the wording of [[the Constitution]] as the head of the Committee on Style. He also spoke more at the [[Constitutional Convention]] than any other delegate.
Born in New York, Morris was educated by French [[Huguenots]] and graduated from King's College (now [[Columbia University]]). He was once defeated in an election because he was suspected of being pro-British in the 1770s. Morris helped finance the [[Revolutionary War]], however, and he was an advocate for a strong central general government afterwards, including election of a [[U.S. President|president for life]]. An [[Episcopalian]], Morris had a deep faith in God and felt that He intervenes in the world.
Morris was a member of the [[Federalist Party]] and a critic of the [[Thomas Jefferson|Jefferson Administration]], though Morris favored the [[Louisiana Purchase]].
