The Bill of Rights (Ten Amendments) were adopted because the states were promised a Bill of Rights. This was during the Ratification (approval) of the Constitution. Anti-federalists did not support the Constitution and did not Ratify it. Federalists ratified it because of their own points of view. they believed a Constitution was a good sense of power, while Anti-federalists wanted a Bill of Rights, belived that the Constitution would give the Central government too much power in the expense of the state governments. Congress did not want to destroy harmony among the states because they had promised the Anti-federalists a bill of rights. The Bill of rights was added to the Constitution in 1791 in Deleware.
