“I think we should obtain the confidence of our fellow citizens, in proportion as we fortify the rights of the people against the encroachments of the government,” Madison said in his address to Congress.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken

In essence, Madison wanted to bury arguably the most famous sentence in American history, “We the People,” in the middle of a combined Preamble.

Roger Sherman of Connecticut was among the first to question the move to downplay “We the People.”

“The truth is better asserted than it can be by any words what so ever. The words ‘We the People’ in the original Constitution are as copious and expressive as possible,” he said.

Some good, some bad. Three of Madison's proposed nation-wide rights were left to the states:

1. No State shall violate the equal rights of conscience
2. or the freedom of the press
3. or the trial by jury in criminal cases
