Alexander Hamilton didn't want a bill of rights because he felt it would clutter up a terse (4000 words) constitution, and he also felt that there were so many rights that they simply couldn't all be enumerated.
It's a good thing for us that the little bastard was never more than a background character riding the coattails of the men who mattered.
