Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAS-PER
PENDLETON, EDMUND (17211803) , American lawyer and statesman, was born, of English Royalist descent, in Caroline county, Virginia, on the 9th of September 1721. He was self-educated, but after
reading
  law and being admitted to the bar (1744) his success was immediate. He served in the Virginia
House
  of Burgesses from 1752 until the organization of the state government in 1776, was the recognized
leader
  of the conservative Whigs, and took a leading
part
  in opposing the British government. He was a member of the Virginia committee of correspondence in 1773, in 1774 was president of the Virginia provincial convention, and a member of the first
Continental Congress. In 1776, as president of the provincial convention, which adopted a state constitution for Virginia, he drew up the instructions to the Virginia members of Congress directing them to
advocate
 
    See Also:
the independence of the American colonies. In the same year he became president of the Virginia committee of safety, and in October was chosen the first
speaker
  of the
House
  of Delegates. With Jefferson and
Chancellor
  George Wythe he drew up a new law code for Virginia. He was president of the
court
  of chancery in 17771788, and from 1779 until his death was president of the Virginia
court
  of appeals. He was an enthusiastic
advocate
 
    See Also:
of the Federal constitution, and in 1788 exerted strong influence to secure its ratification by his native state. He was a
leader
  of the Federalist party in Virginia until his death at Richmond, Va., on the 23rd of October 1803.
