Who wrote the first amemendment?
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.
What is the Bill of Rights How is it different from the Constitution Who wrote it did he want to?
Okay, so lets understand what the thirteen amendments are first. The thirteen amendments were a way to alter or change the U.S. Constitution. These amendments were soon named the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights is sort of an add-on to the Constitution. They made changes to the Constitution. Many amendments have been added to the original thirteen amendments in the Bill of Rights and there are now about 27 amendments composing the Bill of Rights. Many other men got together to write and give ideas for the Constitution. The Thirteen Amendments were written by many different people, depending on which amendment. Since there are so much people that have wrote drafts and contributed ideas to the Constitution and the Thirteen Amendments, it is hard to tell for sure if the author wanted to write it, but it is logical to think that the author wanted to, or else they would have declined. It is most likely that the author agreed to write it or else someone else would be chosen to write the Constitution.

Which president wrote the tenth amendment?
George Washington. It was part of the Bill of Rights. Are you kidding? George Washington was elected as our first president by a unanimous vote of the electoral college. He did not, however, write the Bill of Rights! James Madison is the author of the Bill of Rights, or the first ten amendments to the Constitution. These rights protect civil liberties and were written as a compromise to allay the fears of those who felt the Constitution created a central government with too much power. The 10th amendment gives to the states (ie "the people") all powers not delegated to the national government in the Constitution. ABOVE TWO ANSWERS ARE INCORRECT---what became the tenth amendment was the first declaratory/restrictive amending clause prepare at Virginia's key 1788 ratifying convention; it was altered that night when the Ninth Amendment was prepared. The Tenth was written by the President and Vice-President of Virginia's convention, the ninth was written by the President. Days later, a strictly restrictive clause was prepared by the President of that Convention and it became the third clause sent back to the States, dropping to the first slot when the first two amendments were not ratified. Resolutions were sent with these and other amendments to the First Congress to provide explanations and true intent. Most Americans have not been taught in three generations the true intent of the Tenth or Ninth. There was no Bill of Rights, which is clearly noted in the first paragraph that the First Congress wrote when sending the amendments back to the States to be ratified individually---not as a Bill of Rights.
