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.

True or False: The sinking of the British Passenger Ship "Lusitania" causes the U.S. to declare war on Germany.
CaHeK987 [17]

<em>False.</em>

Explanation:

Although the sinking of the Lusitania was fuel for the United States to enter World War I, it was not the direct cause of it. The United States actually entered the war a few years later, but people still remembered the Lusitania.

Although there were numerous occurrences that happened that finally made the United States declare war on Germany, the sinking of the Lusitania included, the biggest reason for them joining the war was because of the Zimmerman Telegram.

In 1917, the British decoded a secret message that was for Mexico, from Germany. This telegram is known as the Zimmerman Telegram, and in it stated that if Mexico joined forces with Germany, against the United States, they would get numerous territories in America when Germany won the war.

This was the direct cause of the United States joining World War I. The Zimmerman Telegram finally made President Woodrow Wilson declare war on Germany.
