The Magna Carta was established to limit to power of the English monarchy and protect the rights of its citizens. It would later be the inspiration for the United States Constitution.

The Southern states seceded from the Union shortly after Abraham Lincoln was elected president. This is because they knew he would be in opposition to slavery and supported the idea that the nation's rights should outweigh state's rights.

Who does the 15th amendment help or protect?
It guarantees people of all races and colors the right to vote in the United States.

Can states extend civil liberties or civil rights beyond those in the US Constitution?

Why was the bill of rights added to the constitution prior to the radification?
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.

How is the constitution safeguards and limits individual rights?
The Constitution of The United States safeguards are not in place to limit individual rights, but to protect those rights.

If these laws were not in place, people with power would trample the rights of those without power.
