Onl Wrote:one person[/b] created the Second Amendment. http://www.billofrightsinstitute.org/fou...of-rights/
The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Written by James Madison in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties, the Bill of Rights lists specific prohibitions on governmental power. The Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason, strongly influenced Madison.
I think you need to re-read your own example. written in response and strongly influenced by George Mason. The Second Amendment was written with the concern and input and approval by many of the people at that time whom I have quoted and you disregard. James Madison gave full credit to George Mason for his influence and importance of the Second Amendment. http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/wew/quotes/arms.html
"[The Constitution preserves] the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation...(where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
--James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46
The Declaration of Independence for example:
Almost everyone knows that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence. However, did you know that, like most people who write something, he wrote at least one rough draft? Jefferson heavily edited his first draft before he prepared a clean, or "fair," copy that became the basis of the "original rough draught." The other representatives from the 13 colonies selected Jefferson to write the Declaration because they all agreed he was the best writer to represent all of their beliefs, not Jefferson's alone. To disreguard the others thoughts and beliefs for only Jefferson's is ridiculous.
