The debate unfolded as states held conventions to discuss and vote on the Constitution, with key discussions occurring in states like Virginia and New York. The Federalists, who supported the Constitution, faced opposition from the Anti-Federalists, who raised concerns about centralized power and individual rights. Ultimately, the Constitution was ratified in June 1788 after the necessary nine states approved it.

The only rights that the Constitution creates are rights of the Federal (U.S.) government.Another way to make this point is that whatever responsibilities are not covered by the US Constitution are left to the States, which is exactly what the 10th Amendment says.
