The first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights, were intended to protect individual liberties and limit the powers of the federal government. Ratified in 1791, these amendments address fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to bear arms, as well as protections against unreasonable searches and seizures. They were largely a response to the concerns of Anti-Federalists who feared that a strong central government could infringe upon personal freedoms. Overall, the Bill of Rights serves to enshrine essential civil liberties in the framework of American governance.
