This man's father was a loyalist who demanded that he "return to his family and indeed [himself]" in a scathing letter.
This man's father was a loyalist who demanded that he "return to his family and indeed [himself]" in a scathing letter. This man named one of his sons Peyton, in honor of his uncle, the first president of the Continental Congress. This man was discredited when a letter was intercepted from French minister Joseph Fauchet and sent to Washington. As a private lawyer, he was the primary counsel of Aaron Burr in his treason case. At the Philadelphia Convention, he proposed an idea that he later criticized on the "committee on detail" as lacking sufficient checks and balances, and which divvied up representation by population. For 10 points, name this man, the second Secretary of State, who presented the large-state favoring Virginia Plan and was the first Attorney General.
