I'm pretty sure that it was because the Constitution lacked guaranteeing the people the rights which they lacked when part of England, the rights that they desired (Such as Freedom of Speech, etc.). So after the Constitution, they made some of the rights that they wanted to ensure that the American people could not be deprived of.

The traditional answer is that Amendment I through Amendment X, ratified by 1791, formed the Bill of Rights.
