Bill of Rights
The Bill of Rights was passed due to the objections of the anti-federalists. They protested that the Constitution does not contain a list of rights for the citizens of the United States.
The first political parties were the Federalists and the Anti-federalists. The two parties organized because of the fight to ratify the Constitution. The Federalists wanted to ratify the Constitution as is without any changes. The Anti-federalists wanted to create a list of rights that individuals have and so they fought against ratification of the Constitution. Eventually a compromise was made, by adding the Bill of Rights.
This first ten amendments were added to guarantee unalienable rights that the Constitution left out. The are identical to the Bill of Rights, because many states would not ratify the Constitution without the rights provided from the Bill. Therefore, the main purpose was simply to ratify the Constitution.

Bill of Rights
Federalists were for the proposed constitution, while the anti-federalists were opposed because they thought it gave the national government too much power and took too much from the states.

You would probably be best served to look up a list of prominent Federalists. The Federalists were almost always supporters of the Constitution, and always supporters of "big government" (a strong federal control over the States). Here are a few big names: •Washington (1st President) •Adams (2nd President) •Hamilton (Washington's cabinet)
They thought that Congress would ruin the country with taxes and the president had to much power. They also complained that the constitution didn't list the rights of the people.
AnswerAnti-federalists were worried that the Constitution did not show individual rights so, they wrote the Bill of Rights to list the rights that the people should have.
The delegates to the state ratifying convention said they would be more willing to agree to the Constitution if a list of fights was added to it. So supporters of the Constitution promised that after it was ratified, a bill of rights would be added.
The Anti-Federalists opposed a lot of the ideas of a strong or "big" central government. Their main concerns included the fact that the constitution before the bill of rights contained no language guaranteeing individual rights, they feared that the position of the presidency could eventually evolve into a position more like a king or a dictator, and they didn't like the fact that the rights of the states were being undermined.
Because without the Bill of Rights we would have been a monarchy. The Bill of rights didnt do anything but list the rights we already had. We have certain inalienable rights given to us by our creator. They cannot be taken away unless you allow them to be. The Bill of Rights shouldn't have been called the Bill Of rights.. It should have been called "List of things the Government cannot do to its people" If it were called that then people wouldn't have been so confused today about what the Bill of Rights is. The US Government doesnt want their powers to be limited.., which is why soon, the bill of rights will be gone and they will have their new one world government i.e. their NEW WORLD ORDER. The US is falling apart and soon there will be a new revolution. Look it up, or else your not going to be ready when it hits the fan. Most of America wont even see it coming.
There is no 42 amendment in the constitution . The constitution only has 27 amendments.
