Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816) was a conservative statesman, a Federalist Senator in the
early republic, a financial expert who planned the U. S. coinage system, and a distinguished
diplomat. Morris was a member of the Continental Congress and of the Pennsylvania
delegation to the U. S. Constitutional Convention of 1787. He actively advocated for a strong
centralized government and a powerful executive. He was uncompromising on slavery and
opposed any concessions to slave-owners. He helped compose the final draft of the
Constitution, but remained a champion of aristocracy who distrusted democratic rule.
Morris argued for an executive with lifetime tenure and the presidential appointment of
senators. He had no qualms with the notion of a better-educated and wealthy elite running the
government in place of the less-educated and less-independent-or so he believed-masses.
He served on the Committee of Style, which placed him in charge of the final wording of the
Constitution. He served on the Committee of Style, which placed him in charge of the final
