Federal Farmer No. 16: Why the Constitution Needs a Bill of Rights The Federal Farmer answers the claim that listing rights is needless, arguing that general powers and silence on jury trial, the press and armies invite abuse. Federalist No. 84: Certain General and Miscellaneous Objections to the Constitution Considered and Answered Hamilton argues the Constitution already protects rights and that a bill of rights is unnecessary and even dangerous; the Bill of Rights was added in 1791.
