Preferred term

Elbridge Gerry  

Definition(s)

  • Elbridge Gerry (1744–1814) was an early American statesman who served in numerous political posts, signed both the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation, and, although he refused to sign it, nonetheless gave the U.S. Constitution his full support once it was ratified. Gerry may have influenced the wording of the Fourth Amendment, although the record is ambiguous. [Source: Encyclopedia of the Fourth Amendment; Gerry, Elbridge]
