Revised thesis and introduction
In 1787, the Constitutional Convention took place at Independence Hall, the same place the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776. James Madison was one of the 55 delegates to attend. Later on James Madison was given the title " father of the Constitution" for his hard dedicated work for ratifying the Constitution in Virginia, producing the Virginia plan and his contributions for introducing the first amendments, which are now known as the Bill of Rights. However, today historians argue could Madison's contributions be great enough to make him Father of the Constitution, had he really lived up to the remarkable things said about him?

This is a very strong start. There are some grammatical errors at the end of the introduction in the last sentence. Read it out loud and make the necessary changes.
You need to include some historiography - who are the historians who claim that James Madison is the Father of the Constitution? You want to write about them by including the title of their books and a summary of their ideas.
You can use textbooks as a good historiography reference.
