"A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on the earth, general or particular, and what no government should refuse."
~Thomas Jefferson December 20,1787
Thomas Jefferson wanted a bill of rights because he wanted to protect essential liberties against infringement from others and the government. Also because he was a anti-federalist (they believed it was necessary to safeguard individual liberty)
