North Carolina initially did not ratify the Constitution because it believed that it did not adequately protect individual rights and liberties. They insisted on the inclusion of a Bill of Rights as a safeguard against potential government overreach. Once the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution, North Carolina ratified it in 1789.
