Description


Title Senate Revisions to House Proposed Amendments to the U.S. Constitution
Description
  • Scope and content: This printed document shows handwritten revisions by Senators during the process of altering and consolidating the amendments to the U.S. Constitution proposed by James Madison of Virginia.
  • General notes: On June 8, 1789, Representative James Madison of Virginia introduced a series of proposed amendments to the newly ratified U.S. Constitution. That summer the House of Representatives debated the issues and on August 24 passed seventeen proposed constitutional amendments. The Senate then took up the matter, altering and consolidating the amendments. Ultimately, Congress forwarded to the states 12 articles of amendment; 10 of them (articles 3 through 12) were subsequently ratified and became the Bill of Rights.
