So I'm not sure what you mean about somebody proclaiming that Library of Congress is wrong. Perhaps you're actually saying that historical documents found in the Library of Congress shows a different historical perspective regarding the creation and implementation of the Bill of Rights in the US. That would require an individual researching those historical documents and linking to some source that proves a point or perspective. Have you personally researched this topic? And better yet can you link us to some historical document that allows us to read what you've researched.
Actually Madison's
adopted version of the Bill of Rights wasn't created from original thought. It was a compilation of rights constructed in Europe over several hundred years that most educated Framers closely studied. Many Framers knew first-hand of the various ways European monarchies cruelly and unjustly treated people using the excuse that they were divinely appointed and guided to do whatever the hell they wanted to people. So their input was important to the process of creating our particular Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights was mostly drawn from concepts that came from the Magna Carta 1215 up to England's Bill of Rights established in 1689. And actually a tad bit from the French Bill of Rights which its final draft was pass in 1789, the same year our Bill of Rights were passed. But we had several Framers who had very close ties to France, including Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. They spent a lot of time in France so they were personally familiar with the drafts in process before France passed their own version.
George Mason of Virginia was really the fundamental drafter of the earliest known version of the Bill of Rights for his state, which was considered to be the beginning framework behind the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights. And again, even George Mason's version was not of his own original thought, but from historical documents that were created in Europe.
James Madison's "draft" was adopted, but its contents was far from his own ideas and words. His draft was a modified version of numerous Bills of Rights that came before the Framers during their attempts to establish our nation, its Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
