d) the federal government in the early days of the republic was violating too many individual rights.
e) the antifederalists demanded it as the price of ratification of the constitution.

Explanation:

The Anti - federalists were concerned about the potential power of the new federal government and demanded a Bill of Rights to protect individual liberties as a condition for ratifying the Constitution. Alexander Hamilton was a Federalist and did not strongly advocate for a Bill of Rights. The Federalists initially thought a Bill of Rights was unnecessary. The Supreme Court did not rule on the need for a Bill of Rights at the time of its creation. And there was no widespread claim of the federal government violating individual rights at the time of the Constitution's formation that led to the Bill of Rights.

Answer:

E. the Antifederalists demanded it as the price of ratification of the Constitution.
