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

many of the founders didnt want the bill of rights because they though it was redundent, as we already had said rights.

Yes! I have this book:

and about a quarter of it is an argument about the institution of the Bill of Rights, by many of the framers. However; I'm quite glad they were explicit by labelling these rights, otherwise the republic would have failed long ago.
