What did George Mason suggest must be included in the new Constitution?

A bill of rights

An aristocracy

A monarchy

There is no declaration of rights . . . Nor are the people secured even in the enjoyment of the benefit of the common law.

It is at present impossible to foresee whether [the Constitution] will, in its operation, produce a monarchy or a corrupt oppressive aristocracy.
