Because the constitution was made for the people by the people so they thought why would the people need to protect their rights from themselves.
FALSE! They did not favor a Bill of Rights because they did not think it was necessary for a strong federal government.
Bill of Rights
Federalists promised to add a bill of rights to the constitution if it was ratified.
By making the Bill of Rights.
Federalists were for a strong federal government and didn't think that the Bill of Rights is necessary for the government to run without corruption. Anti-federalists thought that the Constitution didn't properly protect their rights like a Bill of Rights would do. However, in the end the Federalists let the anti-federalists have the Bill of Rights.
Federalists
Many federalists simply didn't see the need for a Bill of Rights. They felt the Constitution did a sufficient job in balancing power between the national government and the states. The Bill of Rights was added to appease the anti-federalists.
Bill of Rights
The argument of the federalists is that the constitution gave the nationalists the strong national government that had wanted. Federalists felt that the Constitution provided the necessary protection already and the Bill of Rights was unnecessary. Also, the Bill of Rights pointed out rights that the government didnt have, therefore outlining the powers the government didnt have gave the appearance that the government had more powers than it actually did.
federalists wanted the constitution to remainn in its origanal state without the bill of rights. anti federalists wanted the bill of rights
FALSE! They did not favor a Bill of Rights because they did not think it was necessary for a strong federal government.
They included the Bill of Rights.
The federalists promised to attach a bill of rights because the anti-federalists were writing series of papers like the federalists and by attaching the bill of rights the anti-federalists no longer had an argument. Which means the federalists won and were able to keep the constitution. They were the first ten amendments to the constitution.
The main issue that the federalists and anti-federalists disagreed upon was the Bill of Rights. The federalists believed that the people should just have the constitution, however the anti-federalists believed in making a bill of rights so the people could see what there rights were.
the Bill of Rights
Heck maybe!
Madison, the president
