when the new congress met in 1789, `james madison` proposed several amendments to the constitution. as well as being inspired by the `virginia declaration of rights` created by anti-federalist `george mason`, the amendments included proposals from state representatives. congress approved the ten amendments to the constitution, which were named the bill of rights. the first four amendments listed the individual rights of americans, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and freedom of religion the next four were protections of people who were arrested. the ninth amendment stated that other rights of the people were also protected even though they weren't listed, and the tenth said that powers not given to the government belonged to the states or to the people.
