In response to States' Rights posted by BrianTubbs:
.
I was careful to add that it "seems" as though you have put a spurious spin on the argument over adding a bill of rights to the Constitution.
.
I like to get as close to original source material as possible. Even so, doing so doesn't guarantee an unbiased look at history.

Here--in George Mason's own words--we can read some of what he thought.

I am sure I can safely state that the Anti-Federalists pushed for a bill of rights in the U.S.Constitution because they felt such amendments would defeat the Constitution. And, I am just as sure that I can unequivocally state that their concern was definitely in favor of individual States Rights. They were opposed to a centralized government.
.
So, I will gather some evidence and post it.

Here are some important names for anyone wanting to do a seach:
Richard Henry Lee, James Madison, Roger Sherman, Edmond Randolph, Alexander Hamilton, Charles Pinckney, and Eldridge Gerry. And, there are others; but, putting any of these names in with states rights or bill of rights will bring up some interesting links, I am sure.
