Explanation:
[STC003695] James Madison opposed the Bill of Rights before he actually wrote it down and published it. He believed that these rights were already guaranteed by the Constitution, and that adding explicitly guaranteed rights would restrict people’ rights to those that were outlined in the document itself. At the time, Madison was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, and he eventually wrote and submitted 17 amendments, which were consolidated into 12 amendments presented to the states for ratification. The 27th Amendment, which was one of the amendments that was voted down, was finally approved in 1992. This amendment limits Congress’ ability to increase its own compensation.
