When did James Madison create the bill of rights?

Answer 1

Quite simply, the Framers had thought that it was unnecessary. They believed that the Constitution already guarded against tyranny by limiting the government's power. The Anit-Federalists disagreed and put up a stiff fight against ratification. James Madison and other Federalists promised that a Bill of Rights could be added in the form of amendments. If they had not done so, the Constitution might not have been ratified.

Answer 2

Yes, and he was the fourth President of the United States. He got information from friends and other documents. The first 10 Ammendement's of the Constitution are now known as the Bill of Rights thanks to James Madison :)

Answer 3

James Madison wrote the Bill of Rights with the Founding Fathers to grant the liberties and freedoms of the people of the United States. The anti-Federalists did not approve of the ratification of the U.S. Constitution since there was no Bill of Rights. James Madison himself did not like the Bill of Rights for 2 reasons. One, he thought they were unnecessary because the Constitution had not granted the Federal government the powers that the Bill of Rights would guard against. Second, he thought they were dangerous because any rights not listed might be thought to be unprotected. In the end, the Bill of Rights were ratified in 1791 just three years after the ratification of the Constitution itself. It was obviously written with a quill pen on parchment......

Answer 4

In 1789, James Madison wrote and submitted his amendments to the Constitution. He believed the document could not be completed without some detailed human rights attached. Anti-federalists had protested and refused to ratify the Constitution based on its lack of an outline of rights. Madison's Bill of Rights solved that issue.
