What is the purpose of the Bill Of rights?

Answer 1

To keep the People safe from their own government.

Answer 2

To protect individual liberties not intimated but not spelled out in the Constitution! It is to protect people from government!

During the debates on the adoption of the Constitution, its opponents repeatedly charged that the Constitution as drafted would open the way to tyranny by the central government. Fresh in their minds was the memory of the British violation of civil rights before and during the Revolution. They demanded a "bill of rights" that would spell out the immunities of individual citizens. Several state conventions in their formal ratification of the Constitution asked for such amendments; others ratified the Constitution with the understanding that the amendments would be offered.

On September 25, 1789, the First Congress of the United States therefore proposed to the state legislatures 12 amendments to the Constitution that met arguments most frequently advanced against it. The first two proposed amendments, which concerned the number of constituents for each Representative and the compensation of Congressmen, were not ratified. Articles 3 to 12, however, ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures, constitute the first 10 amendments of the Constitution, known as the Bill of Rights.

Answer 3

The purpose of the Bill of Rights is to protect our God-given rights that the Declaration of Independence talks about. The Declaration of Independence says "all men are created equal and endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Answer 4

It is clear from the wording that purpose was to limit the power of government. Too bad our government routinely ignores it.
