The ones who criticized the constitution were the group labeled the anti-Federalists led by Thomas Jefferson. They comprised of land owners and farmers. The anti-Federalists saw that the Articles of Confederation was weak and just needed a tune-up. The Federalists saw a vision of commerce as the future for the United States and therefore needed to make the central government strong. Fearing of tyranny, the anti-Federalists demanded a "Bill of Rights." The Federalists eventually concurred as they were fearing the anti-Federalists of not signing the Constitution. Twenty Amendments came to the desk of James Madison and ten were passed on to become the "Bill of Rights." Eleven states ratified the first ten amendments, starting in 1787, of the constitution only Rhode Island and North Carolina had rejected the constitution. North Carolina eventually ratified it in 1789 after the inauguration of George Washington as President. Rhode Island ratified the constitution in 1790.
