The constitution lacked a bill of rights to protect individual freedoms so antifederalists were afraid their freedom would be taken away.The Americans wanted their rights protected and they wanted a Bill Of Rights to ensure it was protected
The Anti-Federalists wanted extra insurance that the new central government could not deny basic freedoms that the states had already given to themselves. This is because they wanted the people of America's rights and liberties to be protected. Most political scientists believe that it was wise to make it clear in the US Constitution what specific rights individuals had.
The writers of the Preamble mentions liberty and justice to make sure the Constitution protected individual rights
The anti-federalists wanted the bill of rights added because they were afraid of "big government." That the Constitution would give the federal government too much power. They wanted to make sure that civil liberties were protected.
All rights protected in the constitution are basically the human rights. But nowadays the definition of human rights is basic fairness. For example, we can't make someone our slave just because they're black. Or we can't sell someone just because they're a woman. We can't fire someone because they have brown hair. And we can't do those things because it's discrimination, and discrimination is unconstitutional. It's basically a circle.
women's rights are protected by some documents
for the right to do things they couldn't do before
The Anti-Federalists were extremely concerned that a strong central government would result in severely weakened state power. Therefore, in order to make sure that the people retained some rights that were protected from national government intrusion, the Anti-Feds demanded that a Bill of Rights be added to the Constitution. Without the addition of the Bill of Rights, the Anti-Feds would have rejected the Constitution in its entirety and it would have not survived ratification. Therefore, because they rejected the Constitution because it originally lacked a Bill of Rights, a Bill of Rights was added to appease them.
It was because James Madison wanted to make a bill of rights and the legislaters put it in the Constitution to reflect the rights of the people.
The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments to the US Constitution. Your question does not make sense.
The colonists had just fought a war against a king and didn't want to replace him with another king so they created a democratic government and a constitution that laid out the rights. One of the problems with a king is there are no rights for the people and they wanted to make sure that the rights were protected.
Everyday the constitution is used. When a person is arrested he is given Miranda rights. This comes from a Supreme Court decision utilizing the 14th amendment. If a police officer comes to your house and wants to search it he must give you a search warrant. This comes from the 4th, 5th, and 14th amendments. The ways we vote are in the constitution and how congress is elected and when. The duties of congress and the president are in the constitution. The fact that a president can only run two terms comes is in the constitution in the 22nd amendment. Who can vote is in the 15th, 19th, and 26th amendments. If you are arrested the constitution states you are to be given a "speedy trial " and to be given representation. The ability to protest is given you in the constitution or to write, say, or demonstrate against the government comes from the constitution. All of your civil rights are in the Bill of Rights. So, these are just a few examples of how the constitution is used today, but we need to pay attention to it to make sure that the constitution is followed and works for each one of us.
