This is either absurd or sorely uninformed. That the Bill of Rights was added later is essentially a procedural technicality.

The (lack of a) Bill of Rights was a major concern when the Constitution was drafted. It was passed with the promise that amending it with a Bill of Rights would be the first priority.

The Constitution was only passed without it so the convention wouldn't keep dragging on.

And because a large portion of the delegates thought that the numeration of the rights was unnecessary as it wasn't the point of a constitution.
