Elbridge Thomas Gerry (July 17, 1744 – November 23, 1814) was an American statesman and diplomat. As a Democratic-Republican he was elected the fifth Vice President of the United States, serving under James Madison, from March 4, 1813 until his death a year and a half later. Gerry was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation. He was one of the three men who refused to sign the Constitution because it did not have a Bill of Rights. Gerry later became Governor of Massachusetts. He is most famous for being the namesake of gerrymandering — a process by which electoral districts are drawn with the aim of aiding the party in power. Source: Wikipedia
