Franklin urges unanimity in supporting the Constitution and proposes a convenient form of signing, but Randolph, Gerry, and Mason aren’t impressed. Washington speaks up for a more representative House, and a final alteration is made. The delegates sign, with three holdouts. Franklin has the last word and speaks of a rising, not setting, sun.

This can leave in-house counsel fielding the consequences of decisions rather than being involved in the planning. For those reasons, developing and implementing effective social media governance is a legal as well as commercial goal.
In this session, IP and technology lawyers from our Social...
