Question

What had to be added to the Constitution before all states would ratify the Constitution?

Answer 1

Before all states would ratify the Constitution, the Bill of Rights had to be added. The Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments to the Constitution and was introduced to address the concerns of those who feared that the new federal government would infringe upon individual liberties and rights. The promise to add a Bill of Rights was crucial for securing the ratification of the Constitution by states that were hesitant to approve it without such protections in place. The Bill of Rights was ratified on December 15, 1791.
