Bill of rights.

The Anti-federalists (those who opposed ratification of the Constitution) argued that the Constitution gave too much power to the national government. States and citizens would lose power and rights. Their biggest argument was a lack of a Bill of Rights, and they added it as amendments after the Constitution.
