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

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

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

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

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

Are you nuts?

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,

You need to go back and study some history.

The Founders who were for the BOR wanted certain unalienable rights affirmed, they didn't feel the Constitution granted enough protection......John Jay who wrote the Constitution with Madison wouldn't sign without it witout them...
