George Mason must rank with John Adams and James Madison as one of the three Founding Fathers who left their personal imprint on the fundamental law of the United States. He was the principal author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights, which because of its early formation greatly influenced other state constitutions framed during the Revolution and, through them, the Federal Bill of Rights of 1791.
Yet Mason was essentially a private person with very little inclination for public office or the ordinary operation of politics beyond the country level. His appearances in the Virginia colonial and state legislatures were relatively brief, and not until 1787 did he consent to represent his state at a continental or national congress or convention. Polities was never more than a means for Mason. He was at all times a man of public spirit, but politics was never a way of life, never for long his central concern. It took a revolution to pry him away from home and family at Gunston Hall, mobilize his skill and energy for constitutional construction, and transform him, in one brief moment of brilliant leadership, into a statesman whose work would endure to influence the lives and fortunes of those "millions yet unborn" of whom he and his generation of Americans spoke so frequently and thought so constantly. [br] The author ascribes importance to the Virginia Declaration of Rights primarily because ______.

作者认为《弗吉尼亚权利宣言》很重要,主要是因为它通过其他各州的法规,最终对起草《联邦权利法案》产生影响。第一段说,乔治·梅森是《弗吉尼亚权利宣言》的主要起草人,由于该宣言很早就形成了,它大大地影响了美国内战期间美国各州制定的其他法规,而且通过这些法规,对1791年的《联邦权利法案》产生了很大的影响。
