Which best describes why some people such as James Madison thought that the Bill of Rights was unnecessary? Rights that were not listed would be unprotected. Natural rights could not be quantified. The Bill of Rights interfered with state laws. There was no flexibility in the stated rights.

Some people such as James Madison thought that the Bill of Rights was unnecessary because rights that were not listed would be unprotected. However expansive and thorough the Bill of Rights may be, it cannot account for every single right that a person may have, which leads to some rights being unwritten. Madison and others thought that meant those rights would never be protected, however, there is an amendment that protects even those unwritten rights today.
