In fact, they were divided on many, if not most, issues. Some were in favor of slavery; others were opposed.
Some thought that only landed, white males should have rights; others thought that all adults, regardless of race, sex, or property status, should have rights.
Some thought that there was no need to even have a Bill of Rights. And some really wanted a strong central government (see Federalism and anti-Federalism).
