Yup... those where the days. Back then people argued over what political system limited government the most allowing the individual to enjoy the most liberty.

Actually, Madison drafted 17 amendments.

12 of them received passage by the necessary two thirds margins in Congress.

10 of them were slam-dunked through the ratification process, 1 was ratified in 1992, and 1 still languishes out there unratified.
