Some thought the Bill of Rights was not needed because the rights involved were implied in the Constitution as written. However, by and large the Bill of Rights was not opposed by "many thoughtful Americans" as ten of the twelve proposed amendments making up the Bill were adopted within a very few years of being proposed.
