Wow you are ignorant. You act as if Madison wrote the Constitution by himself. Wilson sat on the Committee of Detail, he gave the second most number of speeches at the Convention, he had an active hand in writing and voting on the various provisions in the Constitution.

Jefferson? Oh yeah, he was in France.

Wow are you dense.

So in other words you HAVE NO direct link between the 1st Amendment written by Madison and the writings or speeches of Wilson. Madison himself cited Thomas Jefferson and the Virgina Religious Freedom Act he penned as the inspiration for the 1st Amendment.

Oh, but Jefferson had NOTHING to do with it, well other than being directly cited by the author as the inspiration and basis.

So apparently you need to dismiss and demean one of our most influential founding fathers, and completely ignore Madison citing him as a direct inspiration in order to buy into your revisionist history.
