James Madison promised the Bill of Rights on the constitution
While James Madison was the primary mover of the Bill of Rights through the First Congress, the leadership of the Federalists (those in favor of the Constitution) had to generally promise to add a Bill of Rights during the ratification debates at the state ratifying conventions. There were many states that would not have ratified without the promise, and George Washington used his position as president to move the matter through Congress as well. Adding the Bill became part of the Federalist mantra when ratification seemed in jeopardy, and various states demanded the addition as a price for ratification.
