Lillian Gallegos · Answer 1

The Federalists felt that this addition wasn't necessary, because they believed that the Constitution as it stood only limited the government not the people. The Anti - Federalists claimed the Constitution gave the central government too much power, and without a Bill of Rights the people would be at risk of oppression.
