The statement that best describes what the Bill of Rights does for citizens' rights is "it guarantees them."
When Federalists -led by Alexander Hamilton- and antifederalists -led by Thomas Jefferson- were debating of the new Constitution for the United States, they disagreed on the form of government. Federalists supported a strong central government, while antifederalists opposed, saying that it had the risk to become a tyranny, just like the English monarchy. That is why James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, that guarantees the rights of the citizens, such as the freedom of religion or the freedom of speech.
