The ratification of the U.S. Constitution in Virginia and New York was slowed by intense debates over issues such as the lack of a Bill of Rights and concerns about federal overreach. Prominent figures like Patrick Henry in Virginia and George Clinton in New York voiced apprehensions about the potential loss of state sovereignty and individual liberties. Additionally, the fear of a strong centralized government contributed to resistance among Anti-Federalists, complicating the ratification process in both states. Ultimately, compromises and assurances regarding amendments helped facilitate eventual ratification.
