Explanation:

The Federalists believed that a separate bill of rights was unnecessary as the new government's power was limited by the Constitution's structure and the system of checks - and - balances. They were concerned that listing specific rights might imply that other rights were not protected, and also thought the government's limited power safeguarded against rights violations.

Answer:

It was unnecessary because the new government had limited power.
