Why is there a Bill of Rights added to the US Constitution?
Some states or people (like Virginia's Patrick Henry) thought that the Constitution did not adequately protect individual citizens' rights. So a Bill of Rights was added so more states would ratify the Constitution. With that said, James Madison set out to write the Bill of Rights. These were ten amendments that clearly gave the people a full range of rights and most of these were in various state constitutions. The Bill of Rights satisfied both the Federalists and the anti-Federalists.

Federalists were in favor of the Constitution but anti-federalists were not because they were in fear of losing their rights. Congress included the Bill of Rights as a compromise to satisfy both parties. The compromise is commonly called the "Massachusetts Compromise"
