The 27th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was originally written by James Madison in 1789. It was one of the original amendments proposed as part of the Bill of Rights but was not ratified by enough states to become part of the Constitution at that time. It was eventually ratified more than two centuries later, becoming part of the Constitution in 1992.
