This is true. The Anti-Federalists were concerned about the lack of explicit protections for individual rights in the Constitution, and the Federalists promised to add a Bill of Rights to address those concerns. The first ten amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights, which includes protections such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, as well as the right to bear arms and a fair trial.
