To secure the ratification of the Constitution by Massachusetts and Virginia, Federalists promised to support the addition of a Bill of Rights. This assurance alleviated concerns about individual liberties and government overreach. Both states ultimately ratified the Constitution with the understanding that these amendments would be prioritized in the new government. This compromise was crucial in gaining the necessary support for the Constitution's adoption.
