to give people rights.
to give the people there right
The federalists hoped that the Constitution would provide rights for people. The anti-federalists opposed the Constitution because it didn't include a bill of rights.
People that opposed the US Constitution argued in favor of the Bill of Rights. They felt the constitution itself would give all powers to the government officials and jeopardize the freedoms of the people. The Bill of Rights laid clear understanding that these rights and freedoms of the people could not be violated regardless of the actions of the government officials.
In a real sense, the article does not 'give' anything to the people. All rights belong to the people fundamentally. Rights that are not specifically given to the government are reserved to the people; it is understood that those rights already belong to the people.
