The purpose of the Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution <u>was to protect individual rights.</u>

The bill was demanded by several states who deemed necessary the creation of amendments that specifically protected individual liberties from government abuse of power that wasn't nowhere established in the Constitution of 1787.

The Bill of Rights, consisting of 10 amendments, lists limitations of government's power and states liberties of people, for example, it guarantees freedom of religion, freedom of press, people's right to enjoy a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury in criminal prosecutions, people's right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion in their homes through the requirement of a warrant, among others.

Answer:

freedom of the press.

Explanation:

If that is what you meant

Freedom of the press:Freedom of the press or freedom of the media is the principle that communication and expression through various media, including printed and electronic media, especially published materials, should be considered a right to be exercised freely. Such freedom implies the absence of interference from an overreaching state; its preservation may be sought through constitution or other legal protection and security.

Without respect to governmental information, any government may distinguish which materials are public or protected from disclosure to the public. State materials are protected due to either one of two reasons: the classification of information as sensitive, classified or secret, or the relevance of the information to protecting the national interest. Many governments are also subject to "sunshine laws" or freedom of information legislation that are used to define the ambit of national interest and enable citizens to request access to government-held information.

The United Nations' 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference, and to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any media regardless of frontiers".[1]

This philosophy is usually accompanied by legislation ensuring various degrees of the freedom of the scientific research (known as the scientific freedom), the publishing, and the press. The depth to which these laws are entrenched in a country's legal system can go as far down as its constitution. The concept of freedom of speech is often covered by the same laws as freedom of the press, thereby giving equal treatment to spoken and published expression. Sweden was the first country in the world to adopt freedom of the press into its constitution with the Freedom of the Press Act of 1766.
