Well. After the first Convention had ended is not technically at the last moment, but fearing that the government might abuse the citizenry definitely counts as cynical. Is it a political ploy...Kinda? “By the time the debates and legislative maneuvering that went into crafting the Bill of Rights amendments was done, many personal opinions had shifted. A number of Federalists came out in support, thus silencing the Anti-Federalists' most effective critique. Many Anti-Federalists, in contrast, were now opposed, realizing that Congressional approval of these amendments would greatly lessen the chances of a second constitutional convention.”

Is it really cynicism if history has proven the hypothesis true time after time after time? That's just realism, friend.
