for a new constitution and a bill of rights
Why was the Bill of Rights added?
The Bill of Rights (Ten Amendments) were adopted because the states were promised a Bill of Rights. This was during the Ratification (approval) of the Constitution. Anti-federalists did not support the Constitution and did not Ratify it. Federalists ratified it because of their own points of view. they believed a Constitution was a good sense of power, while Anti-federalists wanted a Bill of Rights, belived that the Constitution would give the Central government too much power in the expense of the state governments. Congress did not want to destroy harmony among the states because they had promised the Anti-federalists a bill of rights. The Bill of rights was added to the Constitution in 1791 in Deleware.

What was James Madisons first view of a bill of rights why did he cahnge his mind?
James Madison, along with most of the other founders, thought that since all the states had their own bills of rights, there was no need of a general one. Well, a while after signing the U. S. Constitution, he got a letter from Thomas Jefferson saying that the U. S. of A. DID need a general bill of rights. So that's why James changed his mind and wrote the Bill of Rights.

What do Declaration of Independence The Constitution and The Bill of Rights have in common?
To learn what the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights say it is best t0 read those documents. As a short summary, the Declaration of Independence explains what nasty things the King of the UK and his government was doing to the American colonies and their citizens (in their view) and says that because of that they have a right to break their ties with the United Kingdom. The Constitution describes the organization of the United States federal government and says what the different powers are of each branch of government. The Bill of Rights is part of the Constitution, being the first ten (10) amendments to that document. Taken as a whole, the Bill of Rights explicitly limits the powers of the government is a number of areas. The text of these documents can be seen at many places on the internet. Among them, the Constitution can be seen at http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.htmland the Declaration at http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/declaration_transcript.html
