The point of an amendment is that it changes what the Constitution says.

BS, how did the BOR change what the Constitution reads?

Your premise that the Constitution or the BOR grants or changes the original intent of the said Constitution is bogus.

The Constitution does not give rights, it protects them and restricts the Government from taking them away.....because they are God Given

It doesn't matter what Madison put in the Constitution????

Are you nuts?

Uh, by including their text in the Constitution. Once enacted, the BOR became part of the Constitution as much as Article I, Sec II.

Yes it does. That's why they call it an amendment to the Constitution.

Not as nuts as you are, apparently. By the way, Madison also wrote this:

The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution,
