Elbridge Gerry
Elbridge Thomas Gerry is an American politician and diplomat. As a Democratic Republican, he was the fifth Vice President of the United States under President James Madison from March 1813 until his death in November 1814. The political practice of gerrymandering bears his name. Born into a wealthy merchant family, Gerry was strongly opposed to British colonial policy in the 1760s and actively organized the early stages of the resistance organization during the American War of Independence. Elected in the Second Continental Congress, Gerry signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. He was one of three men attending the 1787 Constitutional Convention who refused to sign the US Constitution because it did not include a bill of rights at the time. Once approved, he was elected to the first US Congress, where he actively participated in the drafting and ratification of the Bill of Rights as defenders of individual freedoms and government.
