What was the Federalists’ argument for not adding a separate bill of rights to the Constitution?

A separate bill of rights was unnecessary because everyone had been granted basic freedoms.

A separate bill of rights be might used later to free enslaved people.

A separate bill of rights was unnecessary because the new government would have limited power.

A separate bill of rights might be used later to limit rights that were not originally listed.

"A separate bill of rights was unnecessary because the new government would have limited power" is the best option, since they thought that this would be redundant in a Constitution already given to these ideals.
