<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is C. protect the individual rights of the people.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Constitution of the United States of America, written in 1787 in Philadelphia, is the fundamental law of the US federal system of government and the landmark document of the Western world.

The Bill of Rights, which is covered in the first ten amendments to the constitution, was brought into effect on December 15, 1791.

This bill limited the power of the federal government of U.S.A., protecting the individual rights of all the people within the American territory.

The correct answer is <em>C.</em> To protect the individual rights of the people.

The Bill of Rights were added to the Constitution two years after it went to effect. The purpose was to have a list of people's rights explicitly mentioned in the Constitution that must protect the citizens of the United States.

The Bill of Rights was passed by the <em>House of Representatives</em> in 1789 and officially accepted as an amendment on December 15th, 1791.

How did Americans disagree over the role of federal and state governments before and during the civil war ?
MAXImum [283]
From what I can remember, states' rights was a large factor contributing to the Civil War. With Lincoln becoming president and representing the North, the Southern states seceded, leading to a war. The state governments of the South argued that since the Constitution and the federal government was created by the states, the federal government had no right to stop states from seceding. President Lincoln and other northerners disagreed and wanted to preserve the Union by stopping states from seceding.
After the war, I believe the South still disagreed on a strong federal government. They wanted to rule the area by themselves.
