To outline the rights of individuals.
When the constitution was written the individual colonies were
asked to ratify it and so give up their independence and form the
United States. Since a war for independence had just been fought,
the colonies had concerns that the new federal government could
become tyrannical and take away the freedoms they had fought so
hard to win.
The Bill of Rights was added to the constitution to make it more
palatable and remove some of the fears about losing states rights.
Even the states that were willing to ratify the constitution
without the rights listed were happy to see them spelled out .
