Congress Considers Madison’s Constitutional Amendments
On June 8, 1789, Congressman and future President James Madison introduced a series of amendments to the Constitution in the First Congress.
By June 9, Congress had begun considering Madison’s proposals—amendments that would eventually become the Bill of Rights.
These protections would secure some of the most cherished freedoms in American life, including freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition.
The Founders understood that liberty requires more than good intentions. It requires constitutional safeguards that protect the rights of every citizen and limit the power of government.
As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are reminded that the freedoms we enjoy today were carefully debated, thoughtfully crafted, and preserved through the Constitution.

The Constitution — Read It. Know It. Carry It.
