The first ten amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, were added to the Constitution to address concerns about the federal government's potential to infringe on individual liberties. This demand for personal rights was crucial for securing the Constitution's ratification and was influenced by existing documents that protected civil liberties. The Bill of Rights guarantees essential freedoms such as speech, religion, and the right to a fair trial.
