The first ten amendments, better known as the Bill of Rights, guaranteed basic rights to citizens and allowed for the passing of the United States Constitution. It would not have been ratified were it not for the agreement to pass these bills at roughly the same time, due to the anti-federalist's fear of a strong federal government.
