Mostly because they wanted more freedom, like freedom of speech and things like that.
When the Constitution was first suggested, people who sided with it were called Federalists. People who did not were called Antifederalists. Antifederalists wanted a Bill of Rights added to the Constitution.
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments which were all added to sway the opinions of more Antifederalists to sign the Constitution. The Constitution needed only ten amendments initially to have enough supporters to be ratified.

it had no bill of rights
A Bill of Rights for US citizens. The Federalists argued that the Constitution did not contain language that took away any rights; they only enumerated powers of the government. They successfully lobbied to have the Bill of Rights added as separate amendments, ratified separately after the Constitution itself had been approved.
The constitution lacked a Bill of Rights to protect individual freedoms so antifederalists were afraid their freedom would be taken away.The Americans wanted their rights protected and they wanted a Bill Of Rights to ensure it was protected
