description: Tells the story of how and why Madison went from skeptic to advocate of a bill of rights, how he created the constitution's design , and how he single-handedly maneuvered his amendments through a reluctant Congress. Also discusses Madison's two blocking others' amendments which would have made radical changes to the constitution, and winning support from the masses for his own amendments, which did not disturb any provisions of the original documents.
