Answer:

D. The lack of a list of protected individual right

Step-by-step explanation:

During the long debate over ratification of the U.S. Constitution (1787–88), there were mainly two political coalitions: the Federalists, who supported its ratification, and the Anti-Federalists, who refused to ratify alleging that it gave too much power to the government and did not protect specific liberties of citizens. Consequently, the Anti-Federalists advocated for the creation of a Bill of Rights that protected individual rights such as the right to privacy, to due process of law, to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, to privacy and to have reserved powers.

It wasn't until that charter of right was added to the Constitution that the Anti-Federalists decided to ratify it.
