Many of the state constitutions contained a Bill of Rights at the time of the Convention. That was one of the reasons that a Bill of Rights was not included in the original version of theU.S. Constitution. Anti-Federalists feared that without a Bill of Rights inserted in the Constitution, the new federal government might be able to interfere or deny some of the rights of the citizens.
