A few states agreed to ratify the Constitution only if what condition was met?
George Washington would be elected president
a bill of rights would be added
the federal government would maintain complete power
no new states would enter the union
which is right
A bill of rights would be added.
Several states were concerned about the lack of explicit protections for individual rights in the original Constitution. These states agreed to ratify the Constitution on the condition that a bill of rights would be added to protect citizens from potential government overreach. This led to the creation and adoption of the first ten amendments, collectively known as the Bill of Rights.
