The Bill of Rights, ratified in 1791, was seen by many as a crucial safeguard for individual liberties and protection against government overreach. It guaranteed fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, as well as the right to bear arms and protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. People felt it was essential to ensure that personal freedoms were explicitly recognized and protected, thus limiting the powers of the federal government. Overall, it represented a commitment to civil liberties and the principle of individual rights in the new American republic.

What did Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson feel about the bill of rights?
Most of the states, when independence was declared in 1776, set up state constitutions which included a bill of rights. Eleven years later, the national constitution was focused on strengthening the nation with a few well-defined responsibilities. Many, including Madison and Hamilton, felt that all rights were retained by the people and trying to list some would indicate that any not listed would not be guaranteed. So the ninth amendment was constructed to overcome that concern which stated "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." After that, most people supported the Bill of Rights which were ratified in 1791. Many were seriously concerned about a lack of a Bill of Rights...others used it as a reason to not ratify the U.S. Constitution because they sincerely feared a stronger national government than the Articles of Confederation that were proposed in 1777 and ratified in 1781. Thomas Jefferson was in Europe from 1785 to the end of 1789...so he did not participate in the U.S. Constitutional Convention and the Bill Of Rights were submitted to the states before he had returned home.
