AnswerAnti-federalists were worried that the Constitution did not show individual rights so, they wrote the Bill of Rights to list the rights that the people should have.

I would try to list a Peugeot 306 for sale in the local newspaper or on Craigslist. I know that some people also list used cars on Ebay, but I would be worried about that.

Yes infact it does. This was tacked on to the constitution because 3 states would not sign it because it lacked the listing of the people's rights. I am in 7th grade and am learning about it right now!Answer:Actually, the United States Bill of Rights does not list the rights of the people, at all. Rather, every amendment specifies things the government may not do to deprive people of their rights.The authors of the Bill of Rights were quite clear on their philosophy; the people inherently have rights, it is not the purpose of the Bill of Rights to grant them those rights. The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to prevent the government from taking those rights away.This is emphasized by the Ninth Amendment. It states that the Bill of Rights is not intended to be a complete list; it recognizes that the people have many other rights which are not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution or its amendments, and they are not lesser rights simply because they are not listed.
