Which amendment did the founding fathers create?

The Founding Fathers created the U.S. Constitution, which includes the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments ratified in 1791. These amendments were designed to protect individual liberties and limit government power, addressing concerns raised by Anti-Federalists during the ratification debates. Key amendments include the First Amendment, guaranteeing freedoms of speech, religion, and assembly, and the Second Amendment, which protects the right to bear arms. Overall, the amendments reflect the Founding Fathers' commitment to safeguarding personal freedoms and democratic principles.


How did the founding fathers form a government that was strong and accountable to the people?

An answer lacking details: they had many long and arduous debates that lasted for months, culminating in the Constitution and its Bill of Rights. The Constitution took so long to ratify because many people feared a strong central government would make state governments obsolete, that there was no Bill of Rights when every state constitution had one and that the Constitution was too vague(Elastic Clause). People against the Constitution were Anti-Federalists. So there were 2 big compromises: the Great Compromise of 1787 and the 3/5 Compromise. A Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution later on during the debates.
