PLEASE HELP!!! Question:
What is Jefferson saying he does "not like" in his letter to Madison? Why were Jefferson and others with similar views fighting for a bill of rights to be added to the Constitution?

LETTER:

I will now add what I do not like. First the omission of a bill of rights providing clearly and without the aid of sophisms for freedom of religion, freedom of the press, protection against standing armies, restriction against monopolies, the eternal and unremitting force of the habeas corpus laws, and trials by jury in all matters of fact triable by the laws of the land and not by the law of Nations. . . . Let me add that a bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference.
