They believed this because it had enumerated their rights, and they believed that any rights not stated in the constitution would not be given to them. Believing this, they did not want anything telling them would they could or could not do, so this is why they thought this was a threat to liberty.

No.
Individual liberty is preserved through individual diligence. Though words can advocate liberty, or proclaim absolute rights, it is only through action that government is kept small so that individual liberty can be maximized. The Federalist Papers advocated ratification of the Constitution by arguing what the Constitution was and was not. The two factions at the time were the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists were those who supported the Constitution and were generally the wealthy, merchants, and those for whom a powerful centralized government was more important than individual liberty. The Anti-Federalists, on the other hand, led by Patrick Henry, were generally small farmers, business owners, and the working class who believed government was a necessary evil best kept small and local. They saw the newly proposed Constitution as a threat to both individual liberty and States' rights. The Federalist Papers were a collection of letters written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and John Jay, all signed "Publius", designed to persuade New Yorkers to support the ratification of the new U.S. Constitution. The compromise that was made to get the Anti-Federalists to ratify the Constitution was the agreement to create a "Bill of rights" whereby specific individual rights would be outlined, and further restrictions would be placed on the Federal Government, such as the 9th and 10th Amendments which deny Federal authority for any power not specifically enumerated in the Constitution. (Which is why 90% of the Federal Government today can be accurately described as Unconstitutional) (www.PatriotMusic.com)
It was Patrick Henry.
The Federalists were statesmen and public figures supporting ratification of the proposed Constitution of the United States between 1787 and 1789. The Federalist Papers are documents associated with their movement.The Anti-Federalists argued that the strong national government proposed by the Federalists was a threat to the rights of individuals and that the President would become a king. They objected to the federal court system created by the proposed constitution. This produced a phenomenal body of political writing; the best and most influential of these articles and speeches were gathered by historians into a collection known as the Anti-Federalist Papers in allusion to the Federalist Papers.wikipedia.org
