Robert Paine was born March 11, 1731 in Boston. Educated at the Boston Latin School and Harvard, he was admitted to the bar in 1757. He prosecuted redcoat Captain Preston after the "Boston Massacre" of 1770. A member of the First Continental Congress, he voted George Washington Commander-in-Chief. He signed the Declaration of Independence and in 1777 was elected to Congress. He helped draft Massachusetts' constitution, served as its first Attorney General, speaker of the House, and justice of the Supreme Judicial Court.

Today, in many parts of the country the legal culture jeopardizes the careers of attorneys who vigorously defend constitutional principles. This author has chosen Founding Father Robert Paine’s identity to educate the citizenry while preventing himself from becoming a casualty in the 21st Century’s Boston Massacre - that of the Massachusetts Constitution and its defenders.

Some years into a noteable legal career, I discovered the sublime power and clarity of the Constitution, ostensibly revered by every attorney sworn to defend it and the benchmark against which the actions of our public servants are to be measured. With that discovery came the shock of realizing how few politicians, attorneys and law professors have ever read it -- or care what it says.
