"Many Federalist did not think the Bill of Rights was necessary or wise.

-Listing some rights may make Americans think that other rights weren't protected.

Madison suggested an amendment that protected other rights."

Answer : The correct answer is : The first eight amendments deal with the specific rights of the people, with which the government should not interfere, but the ninth amendment is more general. Madison suggested another amendment that would protect other rights besides personal privacy and limit the power of government.
