"James Madison Proposes Bill of Rights". James Madison University . 10-28-08 http://www.jmu.edu/madison/gpos225-madison2/madprobll.htm.

This article is a brief summary of Madison's dedication to the creation of the Bill of Rights. It examines how Madison didn't think the Constitution needed a Bill of Rights, but if there was going to be one, it was his duty to propose one.

Even though this might make my thesis a little difficult to write, it helps me get a better understanding of Madison's beliefs. My understanding of this article is that Madison truly thought the Bill of Rights was not necessary. The only exception he thought came out of the Bill of Rights was that it call for another Constitutional Convention and convinced the final two states to ratify the Constitution.
