I think it's you who needs to study some history. John Jay wasn't even AT the Constitutional Convention. He was among the Federalists, though, corresponding with Madison and Hamilton and writing parts of the Federalist Papers. It was the Anti-Federalists like Patrick Henry who insisted on including the Bill of Rights before they'd ratify.
