Although Calvin Johnson, Paul Finkelman, and others have made good faith
attempts, I think it is impossible to answer Bobby's "quick" question
quickly.  There is simply too much competing literature on the subject.

Subject: The Founders of the Bill of Rights

        A quick question.  If, as we are told, Madison acceded to the
demands of the Anti-Federalists for a Bill of Rights, why aren't the
anti-federalists considered the founders of that document?
