The self evident rights? Many of the framers and ratifiers didn't think a bill of rights was necessary
they thought people had rights, but that it might be be foolish to empower govt to protect those since it would probably subvert that empowerment and use it to take away rights.
and others thought the most important at that time needed to be enumerated, and still others demanded if so, a ninth amendment
yes dear people had many different thoughts and then they created a very very tiny government Which Jefferson confirmed 10000% in 1800.
