Best Answer

It was added as a compromise between those that supported ratification of the Constitution, called Federalists, and those that were opposed to ratification, called Anti-federalists. Anti-federalists agreed to support ratification of the Constitution if the Bill of Rights was added later, which is why the Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments to the Constitution.
