If he truly understood the constitution he'd understand why it is important to be vigilant when following it. Even the slightest compromise could mean all of our rights. Hell, we see this in European countries with their much larger (and ever-increasing) censhorship policies and a lack of many individuals freedoms that we'd have protected against here. The only reason there isn't tyranny in these political states is because of international intervention. The rights given in the Bill of Rights aren't things that change with time. They're absolute rights of nature, and are necessary for free men to exist. I'm starting to see how true Alexander Hamilton was, even today with this following quote.
"Foreign influence is truly the Grecian horse to a republic. We cannot be too careful to exclude its influence." Alexander Hamilton, Pacificus, No. 6, July 17, 1793

something people seem to keep forgetting, or just not know. is that the Bill of Rights, doesnt grant us any rights, its just protects them.
We already have these natural rights, they are God given, we are born with them. and the bill of rights merely acknowledges them, and protects them.
many of the founders didnt want the bill of rights because they thought it was redundent, as we already had said rights.
