How many Bill of Rights amendments did James Madison present to the Constitutional Convention?
ChuckSiata
In 1789, James Madison--nicknamed "the father of the Constitution", proposed twelve amendments that ultimately became the ten amendments making up the U.S. Bill of Rights. In this respect, Madison was unquestionably the person who wrote the First Amendment. So while Madison unquestionably wrote the First Amendment, it would be a little bit of a stretch to suggest that it was Madison's idea. He proposed it more to honor his mentor and humor opponents of the Constitution than anything else, and his model for a constitutional amendment protecting free expression and freedom of conscience was not particularly original.
