Ratification was not an easy process; it faced significant challenges and opposition. The Articles of Confederation had created a weak central government, leading to debates about the need for a stronger federal system. The Federalists, who supported the Constitution, encountered resistance from the Anti-Federalists, who feared the potential for tyranny. Ultimately, a series of compromises and assurances, such as the promise of a Bill of Rights, facilitated the ratification process.
