True
To win support for ratification of the United States Constitution, Federalists agreed to add a bill of rights to the document.
The Bill of Rights-
The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution. The purpose and meaning of the Bill of Rights as it emerged from the ratification process, was to preserve the liberties England's revolution laws threatened.
The constitution has been amended a total of 27 times. Of those, 17 were added after the Bill of Rights.
The constitution had strong support but also strong opposition
it had no bill of rights
The major argument was the absence of a bill of rights in the Constitution
The Anti-Federalists opposed ratification of the U.S. Constitution because they were against increasing the power of the national government.
In 1789 during the ratification process, the Constitution did not include a Bill of Rights.
It was added as a compromise between those that supported ratification of the Constitution, called Federalists, and those that were opposed to ratification, called Anti-federalists. Anti-federalists agreed to support ratification of the Constitution if the Bill of Rights was added later, which is why the Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments to the Constitution.
Patrick Henry, a famous Virginian man, gave fiery speeches against the ratification of the Constitution. He believed that the Constitution gave too much power to the federal government and threatened the rights of individuals and states. Henry argued for states' rights and the inclusion of a Bill of Rights in the Constitution to protect individual liberties.
