Bill of Rights

No. They were added because some delegates refused to approve the constitution without it.
The Bill of Rights was needed because some states (mainly New York and Virginia) wouldn't ratify the new Constitution in 1787. THey wanted some guarantees of personal liberties. They would ratify the Constitution if a bill of rights was added.
Bill of Rights
Some states or people (like Virginia's Patrick Henry) thought that the Constitution did not adequately protect individual citizens' rights. Therefore, a Bill of Rights was added so more states would ratify the Constitution, and the American people were afforded more protection than with the Constitution alone. The Bill of Rights added a significant number of rights and privileges not given to citizens under the Constitution alone.

The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which were added even before the Constitution itself had been adopted in 1787. In fact, had the Bill of Rights not been written, it's likely that the Constitution itself would not have been ratified.
The delegates to the state ratifying convention said they would be more willing to agree to the Constitution if a list of fights was added to it. So supporters of the Constitution promised that after it was ratified, a bill of rights would be added.
