📜🇺🇸 September 25, 1789: Congress Proposes the Bill of Rights

Meeting at Federal Hall in New York City, then the nation's capital, the First Congress approved 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification.

James Madison introduced the amendments on June 8, 1789. The House passed 17 in August, and the Senate consolidated them into 12. At Roger Sherman's urging, the amendments were added at the end of the Constitution rather than woven into its text.

On December 15, 1791, ten of the 12 were ratified and became the Bill of Rights.

An interesting fact is that another was ratified in 1992 as the 27th Amendment, 203 years after it was proposed!
