What historical event led to the 5th amendment in the Constitution?

A whole series of amendments was introduced in the House of Representatives by James Madison on June 8, 1789, including what, after editing, were eventually passed and ratified as the first ten amendments (or "Bill of Rights") to the Constitution. Most of their provisions, including the substance of the fifth amendment, were based on amendments that had been requested by various state conventions when they ratified the Constitution (over the previous two years). Similar provisions were also already found in a number of state constitutions. The specific provisions of the fifth amendment seem to be based on a request from Virginia. But, in fact, many of the rights spoken of in the Bill of Rights had a LONG history in Britain. A form of the "due process" clause of the fifth amendment may be found as early as the Magna Carta (1215).
