The Gouverneur Morris Papers project is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and publishing the papers of Gouverneur Morris, a Founding Father and the principal author of the U.S. Constitution’s preamble. The project aims to provide comprehensive access to Morris’s correspondence and writings, offering insights into his contributions to American political thought and his involvement in the early years of the United States. Through this initiative, researchers and the public can explore Morris’s influence on the nation’s founding principles and his role in shaping its early governance.
