What role did the Bill of Rights play in the debate over the ratification of the Constitution?

History

Answer:

  • The Anti-Federalists wanted a guarantee of protection of people's personal liberties.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation, in place prior to the ratification of the Constitution of the United States of America, had granted stronger authority to the states.  Patrick Henry and other Anti-Federalists were concerned about too much power winding up in the hands of the federal government and its executive branch, thus allowing a small number of national elites to control the affairs of the USA.  They feared this also would diminish the rights and freedoms of individual citizens.

The Bill of Rights, laid out in the first ten amendments to the Constitution, provided some reassurance to Anti-Federalists after the fight over ratification. The US Constitution was ratified in 1788.  The Bill of Rights was created in 1789 and ratified in 1791.

Why did the Cold War start in Europe and how did it involve and impact developing and newly independent nations
S_A_V [24]
The Cold War threatened the independence of new nations. Since the Soviet Union and the United States were competing for political influence, many newly independent nations were subject to take over either by the Soviet Union or the USA. However, there was also a positive impact to some newly independent countries because the two antagonists of the Cold War would support whatever country they saw fit. Therefore, some new countries gained support from larger nations.

This is just one of the many possible answers, since so many nations were affected differently. All the same, I hope this helps. :)
