the declaration of independence and the constitution are the documents that paved the road for the united states of america. they set forth the ideas and principles behind a just and fair government. only six individuals were able to sign both the declaration of independence and the constitution. these gentlemen were benjamin franklin, james wilson, roger sherman, george read, george clymer, and robert morris.

george read was born on september 18, 1733 in cecil county, maryland. george received education at the philadelphia academy under doctor allison at new london. after graduating at age 15 he continued to study law at the office of john moland in philadelphia. he later became a member of the delaware committee of correspondence, 1774. he later became a member of both the first continental congress and the second continental congress. it was there where he signed the original 'petition to the king' of the congress of 1777, the declaration of independence, and the constitution of the united states. what's odd, is that although read signed the declaration of independence, he actually voted against independence on july 2, 1776, making him the only signer of the declaration to vote against freedom. after the constitution was ratified, he became president of delaware and was a member of the federalist party until his death in 1798.
