Benjamin Franklin supported the Constitution by emphasizing the importance of unity and the need for a strong central government to maintain order and protect the rights of citizens. He argued that the compromises made in the Constitution were necessary for the greater good of the nation. In contrast, Elbridge Gerry opposed the Constitution primarily due to concerns about its lack of a Bill of Rights, fearing that it could lead to tyranny and the erosion of individual liberties. He also worried that the proposed government structure favored the wealthy and elite at the expense of the common people.
