George Mason’s essay about government differed from ideas expressed in The Federalist Papers in that George mason believed that the Federalists supported the creation of a strong central government that could have the risk to turn into a dictatorship, as was the case of the English monarchy. Mason was against the aggressions and aggravations committed by the English king and he did not want that for the American people. That is why he opposed the ratification of the Constitution under that strong federal government conception supported by Federalists like Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison.
George Mason was an Antifederalist like Thomas Jefferson, and he firmly believed in a government that included many rights for the citizens.
