Before the advent of the Bill of Rights in 1791, the rights of the people were always infringed on. people were subjected to royal abuses of power, unlawful imprisonment with hard labor, heavy taxation and lots more. The Bill of rights was adopted to secure the rights of the people and to ensure that no state deprive it's citizens of the privileges and protections of the Bills of Rights.
The post Bill of Rights amendments also enforces individual liberty and right protection, which is the main reason it was adopted at first. The amendments still have the same meaning and importance, the only challenge is that the level of enforcement has now been watered down as opposed to when those amendments were first ratified

Explanation:
Hello. You did not enter the line of text to which this question refers. However, when researching your question, I was able to find a question like yours and realized that the line of text you forgot to present was “Generals always fight the last war”.
Answer and Explanation:
The line “Generals always fight the last war” means the existence of a faith that successful attitudes in the past will be equally successful in the present, even though the present and the past are completely different realities. The Maginot line serves as an example for this sentence because it achieved its goal of protecting France from German invasion during the First World War. Because of this success, it was used again as a strategy in the second world war. However, the two wars were very different, as were the German strategies, which meant that the Maginot line was no longer able to provide any protection to France, which was invaded by Germany.
