They would put in the Bill of Rights.
To include a Bill of Rights :)
The Constitution was approved by the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention of September 17, 1787. As soon as the document was available until 9 states ratified it on June 21, 1788. The debate continued on the four remaining states until Rhode Island ratified on May 29, 1790. Of course debating continues to this day, right?
The Constitution was ratified during the years 1787 to 1790. But it became effective on March 4, 1789 after its ratification by a ninth state, New Hampshire, on June 21, 1788. The Constitution was completed on September 17, 1787, and at that point the process of ratification began. The first state to ratify it was Delaware, on December 7, 1787. According to the Constitution, it was to go into effect in those states that ratified it as soon as a total of nine states did so. The ninth state, New Hampshire, ratified it on June 21, 1788. The last of the original thirteen colonies to ratify the constitution was Rhode Island, which did so on May 29, 1790.
It was important for all the states to ratify the constitution so that it would last longer. Without amendments and the flexibility of the constitution, eventually the states probably would have gotten rid of the constitution and began a new one until it satisfied the requirements of each state.
It was before the war. As soon as Lincoln won the Election of 1860, South Carolina called a convention where everyone voted for secession. They claimed that slavery was protected by the Constitution, and Lincoln was likely to prevent the creation of any new slave-states. Other Southern states joined them, and soon the war was on.
Shay's rebellion was an uprising by western Massachusetts farmers due to the lack of a lack of a stable constitution. Under the Articles of Confederation, many lower class men were losing their lands and their money. Led by Daniel Shay, a group of farmers attacked both Indians and their fellow Americans. Shay mysteriously contracted a disease and died. The rebellion fell apart soon after. This rebellion made people realize that a strong central government was needed. Shay's rebellion is an indirect cause of the constitution.
They didn't want to change it, they loved the document how it was already written and they only wanted to get it ratified as soon as possible

Answer It convinced people that the federal government would not be a crazy person
Patrick Henry or Samuel Adams
1791 The first amendment to the constitution was in 1791. It allowed the freedom of speech.
No. According to Article 7, the Constitution was considered ratified when 9 states (2/3 of the 13) had approved it. The last 2 states, North Carolina and Rhode Island, ratified the Constitution in late 1789 and in 1790, after the proposition of the Bill of Rights in September, 1789.
Some of the framers of the Constitution wanted a section added to the Constitution to spell out the rights of the people. It was decided that the constitution would be sent to the states for ratification, and as soon as ratified, the Bill of Rights would be added to the Constitution.
They wanted to be sure that basic rights were protected by the constitution and that there would be a method to insure that there wouldn't be a king.
A proposed amendment becomes part of the constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the states (38 of 50 states).
They insisted on adding it because they wanted ti protect the basic rights of the people.
At the time of the writting of the Constitution by the delegates to the Constitutional Convention, there were no political parties in the United States. Two groups emerged to fight for or against ratification of the new Constitution. Those who favored the Constitution were called Federalists. Those who opposed the Constitution became known as Anti-Federalists. Once the Constitution was ratified, political parties did emerge, even though many of the Founding Fathers, especially George Washington, opposed the creation of political parties, or "factions" as they were then called. The Federalists did become our first political party, led by men such as John Adams and Alexander Hamilton. Those who had been against the ratification of the Constitution soon joined with others who favored states' rights over a too powerful federal government. They became the second Political Party called the Democratic-Republicans, led by men like Jefferson.Read more: Who_were_the_two_political_parties_that_supported_the_Constitution
Every Constitutional Amendment, including the Bill of Rights, becomes every bit as much of the Constitution as the original text as soon as three fourths of the states have ratified it.
