Who worked on the Bill Of Rights?
The Bill of Rights was proposed by James Madison and he is considered the "author" of the Bill of Rights. But it was influenced by other members of the Constitutional Convention. The Anti-Federalists, including Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, Patrick Henry, and others, demanded that a Bill of Rights be included in the new Constitution. They threatened to withhold ratification of the Constitution unless a Bill of Rights was added. A compromise was reached and the Constitution was ratified and the First Congress approved ten of the twelve amendments proposed by Madison.
