Question

Which best describes why some people such as James Madison thought that the Bill of Rights was unnecessary?

Answer 1

After the American Declaration of Independence in 1776, the Founding Fathers turned to the composition of the states’ and then the federal Constitution. Although a Bill of Rights to protect the citizens was not initially deemed important, the Constitution’s supporters realized it was crucial to achieving ratification. Thanks largely to the efforts of James Madison, the Bill of Rights officially became part of the Constitution in December 1791.

Answer 2

James Madison was known as the important architect of the constitution. Even though he opposed any bill of rights he supported those bills finally because of some political reasons.

Apart from Madison, many people in the house believed that the bill of rights was unnecessary and stated that it was a nauseous project of amendments.
