"Remember us."
As simple an order as a king can give.
"Remember why we died."
For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor.
His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me.
That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be.
May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones,
"Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie."

Madison's Notes for the Bill of Rights

Madison used this outline to guide him in delivering his speech introducing the Bill of Rights into the First Congress on June 8, 1789. Madison proposed an amendment to assuage the anxieties of those who feared that religious freedom would be endangered by the unamended Constitution. According to The Congressional Register Madison, on June 8, moved that "the civil rights of none shall be abridged on account of religious belief or worship, nor shall any national religion be established, nor shall the full and equal rights of conscience be in any manner, or on any pretext infringed."
