Author of Constitution & Bill of Rights

Thomas Jefferson was the mentor of James Madison. Conversely, James Madison, amongst others, was a protege of Thomas Jefferson. James Madison,along with a host of others--Dickinson, Wythe, Sherman, Morris, Adams, Paine, etc., are given credit for being co-authors while Jefferson was away in Paris. If you read the plethora of letters solicited by Madison and others, from Jefferson, you will see where the vast bulk of the above referenced documents were the brainchild & product of Thomas Jefferson. If you do not have the various books which contain these letters, as do I, you will find many of them at: http://bit.ly/cORie0
