Explanation: People wanted the Constitution to include a Bill of Rights because, unlike the Articles of Confederation it gave the the federal government more power than the states making is a more centralized government. Many people saw the Constitution as a gateway back to monarchy, so they only agreed to it if a Bill of Rights be added, these rights can never be taken from any citizen. This made sure that the federal government could not make the unlawful decisions that the British monarchy did.
