Bill of Rights
The delegates signed the new Constitution on September 17,1787. In order to become law, however, the Constitution required approval by conventions in at least 9 of the 13 states. These conventions were marked by a sharp debate. Supporters of the Constitution were called Federalists. They argued in their famous book, the Federalist Papers, that the new government would provide a better balance between national and state powers. Their opponents, the Antifederalists, feared that Constitution gave the central governmant too much power. They also wanted a Bill of Rights to protect the rights of individual citizens. In order to gain support, the Federalists promised to add a bill of rights to the Constitution. This promise cleared the way to approval. Congress formally added to the Constitution the ten amendments know as the Bill of Rights. These amendments protected such basic rights as freedom of speech, press, assembly, and religion.Many of these rights have been advocated by Voltaire, Rousseau, and Locke.
