The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution because Anti-Federalists believed that they were needed in order to protect the citizens.
The Federalists were in favor of the Constitution, they felt that the Articles of Confederation was too weak and was ultimately harming the country. They wanted to ratify the Constitution, which gave power to the national government, as under the Articles the government was very weak.
The Anti-Federalists opposed the Constitution, they felt that the Articles of Confederation was fine for the country. They preferred a weak national government, as they had just broken free of British rule and were afraid of tyranny. They argued that if the Constitution was going to be ratified, there needed to be a Bill of Rights added.
While the Federalists didn't necessarily think a Bill of Rights was needed, they wanted the Anti-Federalists to agree with them, so the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution.
I feel like everyone can agree with the decision to add a Bill of Rights. They are very important in protecting our rights and preventing the government from abusing its power on the people. They are our natural rights and it is important that they are secured.

Answer:
( I'm assuming this is based off the movie of the little dark skinned girl who during segregation was put into school with white children)
Explanation:
Ruby was dark skinned at the time she was entering kindergarten and a very smart little girl. However Ruby Bridges was born during a time of segregation when whites and blacks were not allowed to do anything together ( school, eat, play ect.) So when Ruby was offered to school at William Frantz Elementary School it was a moment that would change history. At first all the parents took their kids out of school and their were protests held in front of the school while the girl walked in. Over time, kids slowly started coming back to school gradually leading to the start of the end of segregation.
The Ku Klux Klan began in 1866 in Tennessee as an organization of Confederate veterans of the Civil War. They derived the name "Ku Klux" from the Greek word κύκλος (<em>kuklos) ,</em> which means circle. The group became a resistance movement against radical Reconstruction in the South, seeking to intimidate blacks and restore white supremacy. The group carried out many acts of extreme violence, and acts in Congress and a decision by the Supreme Court <em>(United States v. Harris, </em>1882) went against the Klan. By that time, though, the Klan had mostly stopped operating because it had pretty much achieved its goal: white dominance in the South.
A revived version of the Klan appeared again beginning in 1915, expanding its target beyond blacks to Jews and others. At its height in the 1920s, this revived version of the Ku Klux Klan had more than 4 million members. Today it is a fringe group in the US, with only a few thousand members.
