Gouverneur Morris

 
Today is the birthday of Gouverneur Morris, patriot and Founding Father who is said to have been one of the chief authors of the United States Constitution as it reads today, witnessed the French Revolution, then later served as senator from New York and chairman of the Erie Canal Commission. We raise the New York state flag (his state of birth) in his honor.
