Because they could be turned into slave states, giving more power to the slaveowners in the south. Also, expansion policy and the dram of Manifest Destiny played a part in desiring that land.
The Bill of Rights is the name of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution.
The bill was mostly written to address the objections of Anti-Federalists who were worried about the shortcomings of the Constitution. These amendments have added significant guarantees of personal freedom, limits to state power and other important rights that were not included in the Constitution originally.
The Bill was a result of several other documents that were also influential on the Constitution, such as the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776), the English Bill of Rights (1689) and the Magna Carta (1215). Madison was particularly significant in the passing of these amendments, as he carefully studied the deficiencies of the Constitution.
