The Bill of Rights were a guarantee that certain rights would be upheld even though not specifically stated in the Constitution. The Bill of Rights includes the first 10 amendments of the Constitution including freedom of speech, assembly, due process, guarantees against cruel and unusual punishment and the right to bear arms. While the Federalists assumed that these rights were simple common sense and should not be included in the Constitution because by enumerating rights you were in turn limiting them, the anti-Federalists were afraid that if they were not specifically stated then they would be violated. These amendments were a concession granted to ensure adoption of the Constitution.
