Who was responsible for writing the amendments that later became the bill of rights

1 answer

The amendments that later became the Bill of Rights were primarily written by James Madison. Madison is often referred to as the "Father of the Constitution" for his crucial role in the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution. After the Constitution was drafted in 1787, Madison believed that it did not adequately protect individual rights. He proposed a series of amendments to address this concern, which were later adopted by Congress and became the Bill of Rights in 1791.
