2. While George Mason is willing to recognize the sovereignty of Great Britain what is he not willing to do?

Explanation:

George Mason was not a dissident by nature. ... He was ready to tear up the Confederation and start over.

George Mason swore he would rather "chop off his right hand" than sign the Constitution.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
