Question

In order to gain support for ratification of the United States constitution, federalists agreed to what?

Answer 1

In order to gain support for the ratification of the United States Constitution, Federalists agreed to the inclusion of a Bill of Rights. This compromise was essential in addressing the concerns of Anti-Federalists, who feared that the new Constitution granted too much power to the federal government and lacked protections for individual liberties. The promise to add a Bill of Rights helped to secure the necessary support for ratification, leading to the subsequent adoption of the first ten amendments to the Constitution in 1791.
