Answer:

James Madison

Step-by-step explanation:

Although there was unanimous agreement over the revision of the Article of Confederation but not on the nature of the new constitution and therefore the question of including Bill of Rights was not gathered much support at the initial stage. Representative James Madison presented changes on June 8, 1789, recently ratified constitution of the U.S. Madison's original proposal was discussed by the House of Representatives which included 17 amendments but only 10 found way to the Constitution.
