Why did Virginia agree to ratify the constitution and what are some of the rights enumerated in the Bill Of Rights that we enjoy today?
Virginia agreed to ratify the Constitution primarily because the Federalists promised to add a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties and limit government power. This assurance was crucial in addressing the concerns of Anti-Federalists who feared that the new government could infringe on citizens' rights. Some rights enumerated in the Bill of Rights that we enjoy today include the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. These rights help ensure individual freedoms and limit governmental overreach.
