well, acording to mr mcnight my 8th grade social studies teacher...
mr william paterson is not for the Bill of Rights! the reason being is because he is a federalist!
If there is a list of rights, then it is very easy for people who feel that their rights have been infringed to identify their rights.
They did not feel the constitution promised them certain freedom: freedom of speech and freedom of the press and of religion etc..
He was not real big on states rights'
Anti-federalists thought that the Constitution did not contain enough guarantees of the rights of individual citizens. They were instrumental in having the Bill of Rights added as the first ten amendments to the Constitution.
They were worried about society changing and the need for different laws. They didn't want the country to get stuck because no changes could be made.
William Paterson believed that counting slaves as part of the population would give more political power to states with larger slave populations, potentially increasing their representation in government. He opposed such a practice and advocated for counting slaves as three-fifths of a person in determining representation in Congress, as outlined in the Three-Fifths Compromise during the Constitutional Convention.

The people feared that from the ratification of the Constitution, there'd be a stronger central government which might take away basic rights of the people that had been guaranteed in state constitutions. The Bill of Rights ensured that the rights of all citizens are protected.
