Abstract
There are strong Federalist majorities in the House and Senate when the first Congress convenes in the spring of 1789. Madison submits a draft of ten amendments to the House, even though he does not believe the Constitution needs a Bill of Rights. The federal government has enumerated powers, he argues; rights are the business of the states. He is concerned that words on paper will limit people's rights rather than protect them. Bernard Bailyn summarizes the essence of the ten amendments.
