Led by Alexander Hamilton, albeit secretly at first, the Federalists were the first political party of the United States. They supported the Constitution, and attempted to convince the States to ratify the document. Hamilton, along with John Jay and James Madison, anonymously published a series of essays known as the Federalist Papers under the pseudonym "Publius."
Both Hamilton and Madison argued that the Constitution didn't need a Bill of Rights, that it would create a "parchment barrier" that limited the rights of the people, as opposed to protecting them. However, they eventually made the concession and announced a willingness to take up the matter of the series of amendments which would become the Bill of Rights. Without this compromise, the Constitution may never have been ratified by the States.
Surprisingly enough, it was Federalist James Madison who eventually presented the Bill of Rights to Congress despite his former stance on the issue.

Explanation:
John Locke was an influential philosopher, political theorist and physician of the <em>17th century.</em> He was known for his "Social Contract theory" which states that <u>the citizens in the country can stop following or obeying their government if it fails to secure the people's natural rights. </u>His theory supported the<em> state or people, rather than the government. </em>
He also focused on the <em>people's natural rights</em> by saying that the people have the right to overthrow the government, when the need arises. It also means that the government cannot have an absolute control over the people. They have to do their obligations to the citizens, so that the citizens will also do their obligations to the government.
