There are many bills of rights, but when capitalized and without further qualification, Bill of Rights generally refers to the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States. A Bill of Rights was proposed to be included in the original Constitution, but the idea was rejected without debate. However many people were concerned about the possibility of tyranny by the new Federal Government, and the states continued to press for a Bill of Rights after adopting the Constitution. James Madison along with other concerned delegates drafted ten amendments to the Constitution designed to guarantee certain essential rights to the people. These amendments were presented at the First Federal Congress of the United States in 1789. They became the first ten amendments to the Constitution in 1791 when they were ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states, and they are collectively referred to as the Bill of Rights.
