The Constitution was more of a compromise, but still there was a lot of opposition and felt the Constitutional lacked "key ingredients" and fundamental flaws.
Several did not including the person (US Minister to France during the ratification process) who primarily (With some input) crafted the Declaration.
The Bill of Rights (Other main objection was a lack of term limits) was a huge sign of relief for those who opposed ratification without the Amendments added; however as I stated, the Necessary and Proper clause (Independent power that made enumerated powers obsolete) unleashed a wave of conflicting purposes.
