Some delegates refused to sign the Constitution for various reasons, including concerns about the balance of power between the states and the federal government, the lack of a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties, and the compromise on the issue of slavery. Additionally, some delegates believed that the Constitution did not go far enough in addressing the weaknesses of the Articles of Confederation and creating a strong central government. These disagreements led to a diversity of opinions and ultimately resulted in some delegates choosing not to sign the final document.
