Luther Martin
Luther Martin (February 20, 1748,
New Brunswick, New Jersey – July 10, 1826,
New York, New York) was a
Founding Father of the United States, framer of the
U.S. Constitution, politician, lawyer, and slave owner. Martin was a delegate from
Maryland to the
Constitutional Convention in 1787, but did not sign the Constitution, having left the convention early because he felt the document as proposed violated
states' rights. In the months following the convention, he was a leading
Anti-Federalist, along with
Patrick Henry and
George Mason, whose collective efforts led to the passage of the
Bill of Rights.
