Answer:

Patrick Henry

Step-by-step explanation:

Patrick Henry, born in May 1736 was an American attorney and orator who served as governor of Virginia from 1776 to 1779 and from 1784 to 1786. He was a renowned anti-federalist who did not support the ratification of the United States Constitution because he felt the constitution was putting excessive powers in the hands of a national government. He declined the role given to him as a delegate at the 1787 constitutional convention that took place at the old Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia
