Sam Adams was a patriot, and patriots usually opposed ratifying the Constitution because they believed it gave too much power to the national government. Most of them were very involved in the revolution and they had fought hard and long for independence from Britain, so they didn't want to give up the power and independence the states had gained from Britain. Also, he believed a Bill of Rights should be included in the Constitution to ensure the protection of certain rights of the people.
