Jefferson believed that a Bill of Rights was necessary to protect civil liberties and that, without a list of protected rights, the government could abuse its power. As a result, the Bill of Rights protects personal expression and property and legal rights. Madison, on the other hand, thought listing specific rights could ultimately limit the unmentioned rights that also needed to be protected. His concerns were answered by the inclusion of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, which address the rights not specifically listed in the Constitution.

interns of those who supported the constitution known as federalists and those who opposed its ratification known as anti federalists. The federalists supported a strong national government to preserve order amendments to the constitution make up the Bill of Rights. Lack of a bill of rights that would place specific limits on government power,because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government,the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

hope it helps
