The Framers of the US Constitution were divided concerning how much power it would give to the federal government. One group called the federalists pushed for a strong government. The anti-federalists feared for their basic civil liberties. The agreement was made to place the Bill of Rights in the new constitution. These were ten citizen rights ranging from the freedom of speech to a fair trial by a jury of one's peers.
