The Bill of Rights are the first 10 amendments to the U. S. Constitution. They were added to make it very clear that the new government being created would not be too powerful. Individual citizens and states each have specific rights that the new government could not override. It was felt that the individual states might not ratify the Constitution without such guaranties.
