"Planter and land speculator '''William Blount,''' who played an insignificant part at the [[Constitutional Convention]], carved out a career in [[North Carolina]] and Tennessee as well as in national politics. It was marred, however, when he earned the dubious distinction of being the first man to be expelled from the U.S. Senate".
