The First Amendment (known as the Bill of Rights) was a compromise between Federalist states and Anti-Federalist states, therefore allowing the new Constitution to be passed. Anti-Federalist wanted rights and restrictions to be put on the Constitution because there was no guarantee to them. Federalists argued that the rights listed were implied. Obviously the Anti-Federalists got what they wanted.
