It is mostly that they demanded that a bill of rights be applied to the Constitution soon after ratification, in exchange for their votes in favor of the ratification the Constitution.

Even though this contributed to the Bill of Rights being introduced in 1791, many deserve some credit for that very critical part of the Constitution.
