Answer: is a bad idea

Explanation: Hamilton's argument is ultimately that a bill of rights should not be added to the Constitutions because the entire Constitution is itself a bill of rights. Also Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government.
