As far as I know Maddison never wanted to add the bill of rights to the constitution. Initially, he believed that a Bill of Rights was not only unnecessary, but potentially harmful.
If we enumerated some rights but not others, would it imply that others weren’t included? Would a Bill of Rights carry any weight in the face of a despotic government anyway?
But some other Democrat persuaded hjm for the bill. This is my assumption!
