Federalists opposed the Bill of Rights primarily because they believed that it was unnecessary in a government of limited powers. They argued that since the Constitution only granted the federal government specific authorities, it could not infringe on rights that were not explicitly mentioned. Additionally, they feared that enumerating certain rights might imply that any unlisted rights were not protected, potentially endangering individual liberties. Ultimately, they believed that the Constitution itself was sufficient to safeguard freedoms.
