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

1 answer

The amendments that later became known as the Bill of Rights were primarily drafted by James Madison. Although he was not the sole author, Madison played a crucial role in formulating and introducing the twelve amendments to Congress in 1789. After debates and revisions, ten of these amendments were ratified by the states and became the Bill of Rights in 1791. The Bill of Rights was designed to protect individual liberties and limit the power of the federal government.
