James Madison and The Struggle for the Bill of Rights takes readers inside a Richmond theater in 1788. There in the sweltering heat, a three week debate took place to decide if Virginia would ratify the new Constitution. Patrick Henry led the Anti-Federalists, arguing fiercely against the document because it lacked explicit protections for individual liberties.
Scholarly James Madison defended the Constitution and narrowly won the ratification. To secure this victory, Madison had to make a crucial promise to opponents that he would personally see to it that a bill of rights was added.
