Gouverneur Morris: Soldier-Statesmen of the Constitution. A Bicentennial Series, No. 22.
Army Center of Military History, Washington, DC.
As one of the authors of the U.S. Constitutions, Gouverneur Morris wrote the preamble's opening phrase "We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union," and his other clauses within the document clearly mirrored his political philosophy. This booklet about Morris is one in a series on Revolutionary War soldiers who signed the U.S. Constitution, and it covers his education, his military service, and his public service to Pennsylvania as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. Personal data about Morris and a bibliographic essay of further readings are also included. (DJC)
