Before the U.S. Constitution was ratified, the addition of the Bill of Rights was essential to address concerns about the protection of individual liberties. Many states and citizens were worried that the original Constitution did not sufficiently safeguard personal freedoms. The promise to add these first ten amendments, which outline fundamental rights such as freedom of speech and religion, helped secure the necessary support for ratification in 1788.
The Constitution lacked a Bill of Rights. It was added later.
