Description
Roger Sherman of Connecticut was a signatory on the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution. He was a lawyer appointed to the state Superior Court. He served in the Continental Congress from 1776 to 1780 and in the Confederation Congress from 1783 to 1785. Perhaps his greatest achievement was forcing the House, in which he served from 1789 to 1791, to place the Bill of Rights at the end of the Constitution rather than within its text. Sherman also served in the Senate from 1791 to 1793.
