Many federalists simply didn't see the need for a Bill of Rights. They felt the Constitution did a sufficient job in balancing power between the national government and the states. The Bill of Rights was added to appease the anti-federalists.

Without the Bill of Rights, the Constitution looked much like the governmental rules in England, which early Americans were trying to escape. Until the Bill of Rights was included to guarantee certain basic civil liberties to American citizens, the majority of people would not support the Constitution in the works
The constitution has been amended a total of 27 times. Of those, 17 were added after the Bill of Rights.
The Constitution was finished on September 12, 1787. Of the 55 delegates, 42 attended most of the meetings, and 39 delegates (and the attesting secretary) actually signed the Constitution. Edmund Randolph and George Mason of Virginia and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts refused to sign, due in part to the lack of a bill of rights.

...that it was wasn't complete to the bill of rights? Can you clarify what you mean? The question is unclear.
After the end of the Indian war, many flocked to Florida to make their homes. The towns grew bigger, and people began to want rights that being a territory didnâ??t afford. On March 3, 1845, President John Tyler signed the bill that allowed Florida to become a state.
the Bill of Rights
Yes infact it does. This was tacked on to the constitution because 3 states would not sign it because it lacked the listing of the people's rights. I am in 7th grade and am learning about it right now!Answer:Actually, the United States Bill of Rights does not list the rights of the people, at all. Rather, every amendment specifies things the government may not do to deprive people of their rights.The authors of the Bill of Rights were quite clear on their philosophy; the people inherently have rights, it is not the purpose of the Bill of Rights to grant them those rights. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to prevent the government from taking those rights away.This is emphasized by the Ninth Amendment. It states that the Bill of Rights is not intended to be a complete list; it recognizes that the people have many other rights which are not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution or its amendments, and they are not lesser rights simply because they are not listed.
