I believe the Bill of Rights was put in the Constitution to satisfy the anti-federalist.
It was because James Madison wanted to make a bill of rights and the legislaters put it in the Constitution to reflect the rights of the people.
== == The Framers of the Constitution and 9 of the 13 colonies decided to put the Bill of Rights in the United States Constitution.
The bill of rights is the first part of the U.S constitution. They detail the rights given to citizens and gave the basis on what should be put into the constitution.
it was controversial because the Anti-Federalists hated the constitution but this was the only way they wouldn't agree to it, if the Federalists put on this Bill of Rights that were not mentioned in the constitution.

To add a bill of rights! :3 US history
Bill of Rights
There was no such thing back then, not by ANY name! You talk about "enlightenment" back then, they'd put you away in the funny farm.
The Bill of Rights are part of the constitution and to have a constitution a revolution was required. The Declaration of Independence told the king the colonies were leaving the British monarchy. Now, put this together.
It wasn't up to Madison because he was one of many. The constitution is a compromise document and the men who wrote it did it as a group. The Bill of Rights had to be written and then voted on by the states.
The Anti-Federalists were most angered by the fact that the Constitution had no bill of rights to protect the people. In order to get the Constitution ratified, the Federalists promised that adding a bill of rights would be the first thing the new Congress would do after the Constitution was put in place.
