James Madison drafted and introduced the Bill of Rights grudgingly to please the Anti-Federalists. These first ten amendments to the Constitution were supported by Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and John Hancock. These were leaders of the "Anti-Federalist" party which favored a bill of rights before ratification of the Constitution. They wanted protection of civil liberties that might be breached by the new, strong central government that the Constitution proposed implementing.
