Some Baptists, led by John Leland, objected to the U.S. Constitution primarily because it did not include a explicit guarantee of religious freedom. They feared that without such protections, the federal government could potentially infringe on their rights to practice their faith freely. Leland and his followers advocated for a separation of church and state, believing that government involvement in religion could lead to persecution and the establishment of a national church. Their concerns ultimately contributed to the push for the Bill of Rights, which included the First Amendment's protections for religious liberty.
