The Bill of Rights.
Initially, to convince New York to ratify the Constitution.
Rhode Island was the last of the thirteen original states to ratify the US Constitution on May 29, 1790.
The Bill of Rights was needed because some states (mainly New York and Virginia) wouldn't ratify the new Constitution in 1787. THey wanted some guarantees of personal liberties. They would ratify the Constitution if a bill of rights was added.
