Congress passed 12 of Madison’s proposed amendments. The states only ratified 10 of them. One of the two rejected by the states concerned the number of constituents for each #Representative. The other limited when and how members of Congress are compensated. Neither was ratified at the time.
The latter of the two rejected amendments was ratified 203 years later. The 27th Amendment restricted compensation for members of Congress.
The Bill of Rights is displayed in #TheRotunda of the #NationalArchivesBuilding in #WashingtonDC.
There were 14 copies made; one for each of the 13 states to sign and one for the federal archives. Only 12 copies survive today.
