Their purpose is preserve our rights as people of the United States, and make it clear what our rights are as citizens.
The Bill of Rights (aka the 1st 10 amendments) was also used to get the Anti-Federalists to support the Constitution's ratification. They worried that without these guarantees, the federal government could restrict the freedoms sought and won by the colonies.
