Jefferson complained to Madison that the Constitution omitted "a Bill of Rights....providing clearly....for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, and restriction against monopolies." It is important to note here that when Jefferson said "monopolies", he was referring to monopolies granted by the government whereby competition was forbidden under penalty of law -- in other words, the original definition of monopoly.
Madison actually wrote the first draft of the Bill of Rights, and it was hammered out in committee, then voted on by the full house.
