In the bill of rights, James Madison uses diction, syntax, and repetition to signify the libertization of every citizen in America by granting each individual, specific rights of their own.
I. historical background
The bill of rights was created approximately five years after the American revolution, which was the one and only revolution that granted the united states their freedom from Great Britain, in fact, it was such a long and concurring war, most were distraught with the length of the revolution and began to question its end, but after 18 very long years, we successfully gained our freedom from the evil all powerful currency-stealing superpower we so call Great Britain.

Madison lived most of his life at Montpelier, his family’s plantation. He graduated from the College of New Jersey (now Princeton University) in 1771.James Madison was the fourth president of the united states of America, where he accomplished so much, but no more than his basic life when he wasn’t a president, in the segment of his life where he isn’t a president, he tended to get much more done and accomplish greater things for some unknown reason.

Rhetorical analysis
The bill of rights was carefully written over the course of at least 116 days, so these 10 wonderful amendments have definitely been carefully thought out, giving the conclusion that these amendments will be very straight forward and somewhat simple.
James Madison wrote intentionally to inform, so literally every single amendment of the bill of rights, is extremely straight forward and demanding to start off, for example, on the second amendment, he clearly states “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” Using his upmost honesty and simplicity to tell the people that they have the right to bear arms and nobody can tell them otherwise.
James Madison wrote using the diction people back in the 1800’s would use, which you can imagine confuses most of the commonwealth in todays world, for example the fifth amendment: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken
