  • The George Mason Memorial is a memorial to George Mason in West Potomac Park in Washington, D.C. , the capital of the United States. It commemorates the contributions of George Mason, an important American Founder who wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights and served as a delegate to the 1787 Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia but is often thought of as the "forgotten Founder. " Mason, an Anti-Federalist did not sign the United States Constitution because it did not abolish the slave trade and because he did not think it had necessary protection for the individual from the federal government. He was sometimes known as the "reluctant statesman," which was also the title of a biography written about him by Robert A. Rutland. The memorial was authorized by Public Law 101-358 on August 10, 1990, to be developed by the board of regents of Gunston Hall. The site, close to the Jefferson Memorial was selected. The design features a 72-foot (22 m) long stone wall with a one-third larger than life-sized statue of a sitting Mason, his legs crossed, and a circular pool. The architect was Faye B. Harwell and the sculptor was Wendy M. Ross. The groundbreaking was October 18, 2000; the memorial was dedicated on April 9, 2002. The George Mason Memorial is administered as part of the National Park Service as part of National Mall and Memorial Parks.
  • Das George Mason Memorial ist ein National Memorial im West Potomac Park in Washington D.C. , der Hauptstadt der Vereinigten Staaten. Es gedenkt dem Wirken von George Mason, einem wichtigen Gründervater der Vereinigten Staaten, der die Virginia Declaration of Rights schrieb und als Delegierter an der Constitutional Convention im Jahr 1787 in Philadelphia teilnahm, aber oft als "vergessener Gründer" angesehen wird. Mason, ein Anti-Föderalist, hat die Verfassung der Vereinigten Staaten nicht unterschrieben, da diese den Sklavenhandel nicht abgeschafft hat und, seiner Meinung nach, den einzelnen Bürger nicht ausreichend vor der Regierung schützte. Er war auch als der "zögernde Politiker" bekannt, so war auch der Titel der von Robert A. Rutland verfassten Biographie. Ein Grundstück nahe dem Jefferson Memorial wurde ausgewählt. Das Denkmal besteht aus einer 22 m langen Mauer mit einer überlebensgroßen Statue, die Mason sitzend mit übergeschlagenen Beinen zeigt und einem runden Wasserbecken. Der Architekt war Faye B. Harwell und der Bildhauer war Wendy M. Ross. Der erste Spatenstich war am 18. Oktober 2000. Das Denkmal wurde am 9. April 2002 eingeweiht. Das George Mason Memorial vom National Park Service verwaltet. Datei:George Mason Memorial. jpg|George Mason Statue Datei:Side Trip - Washington DC 136.
