James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights, even though he wasn't initially in favor of having them included. They were not written at the Philadelphia Convention, since they were later amendments to the Constitution written there. Madison submitted his proposal for a Bill of Rights to Congress in June 1789. But where were they written? Madison lived in Virginia but was a congressman, so presumably they were written either in Washington or Virginia.

It was mainly important to prevent the Congress from creating laws related to religious practices as well as establishments of different religions in the country. Also the amendments do not allow the federal government to deprive an individual of life, property and liberty without the person undergoing due process of law.
