D. the Bill of Rights
Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists opposed the original Constitution because it lacked explicit protections for individual liberties. Their pressure during ratification led to promises to add amendments; James Madison drafted these, and the first ten amendments — the Bill of Rights — were ratified in 1791.
