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.

Why did the federalists argue against inclusion of a bill of rights in the US Constitution?

Federalists opposed the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution because they believed that the Constitution itself was a bill of rights, establishing a framework that limited government power and protected individual liberties. They argued that listing specific rights could be dangerous, as it might imply that any unlisted rights were not protected. Additionally, they felt that a Bill of Rights was unnecessary in a republic where the government was accountable to the people and its powers were clearly defined.
