The Constitution was a compromise between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. Federalists supported a strong central government and the Constitution as it was proposed, while Anti-Federalists favored state sovereignty and were concerned about the potential for government overreach. The resulting compromises included the addition of the Bill of Rights to address concerns about individual liberties and the balance of power between state and federal authorities.

At the time of the writing of the US Constitution, political parties as we know them today were not involved. There were two opposing groups during that time, the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists wanted more government control over the states, and the Anti-Federalists were something like today's Libertarians (wanting more independence for the states). These two groups had to compromise to get our constitution ratified. The Bill of Rights, the first 10 amendments to the constitution, was included because it guaranteed that the federal government could not have too much control over individuals: This was done to satisfy the Anti-Federalists.
