It doesn't.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) protects citizens by insuring deposits in member banks, ensuring that depositors do not lose their savings in the event of a bank failure. Each depositor is covered up to $250,000 per insured bank, which helps to maintain public confidence in the financial system. This insurance promotes stability in the banking sector and encourages individuals to save, knowing their funds are safeguarded.

In the United States, all banks are members of the FDIC - Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Each bank pays a certain amount into the FDIC's coffers for insurance of all deposits up to $100,000 by individual citizens. If the bank runs out of money, the FDIC pays back to the citizens the amount of money they had on deposit at the bank out of the money the banks have been paying into the FDIC. Until the Great Recession, the FDIC was 100% financially solvent; during the Recession there were enough banks that went under that FDIC needed a loan from the Treasury Department to cover repaying all deposits. This loan has since been paid back and the FDIC is standing on its own two feet again.
If the government defaults, the FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) would likely face financial challenges as it is a government agency. The FDIC's ability to protect depositors' funds could be compromised, leading to potential instability in the banking system.
James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights as a fulfilment of a pledge that he had might in the fight over ratification. He said that the constitution did not have ways to protect the rights of the citizens.
