A Bill of Rights
Some delegates wanted a Bill of Rights to ensure that individual liberties and rights were explicitly protected from government infringement. They believed that without such protections, citizens could be vulnerable to tyranny and abuse of power. These delegates were known as the Anti-Federalists, who opposed the ratification of the Constitution as it originally stood, arguing that it lacked sufficient safeguards for personal freedoms. Their advocacy ultimately led to the adoption of the first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights.
