The Federalists argued that they did not need a Bill of Rights because the people and states kept any powers that was not given to the Federal Government. On the other hand, Anti-Federalists said that a Bill of Rights was necessary in order to safeguard individual liberty.
The Bill of Rights is a list of limits on the Government. For example, the founders saw that the first amendment was a natural right and prohibits from making laws establishing religion and abridging (remove or shorten; rights or privileges) freedom of speech.

The essay should be written to assess your ability to write and interpret information. For that reason, I can't write it for you, but I'll show you how to do it.

As shown in the above question, you must select a question and an answer on the US History exam resources page.

Next, you must evaluate and interpret the issue presented in the question and answer. This will be the subject of your essay and you should search for information about it.

In addition, you must form an opinion and a position on this subject. This will also be important for your research, as you must find information that supports your opinion on the subject.

After that, you can write your essay as follows:

Introduction: Introduce the subject of your essay and show your interpretation, opinion and position in relation to this subject. This placement is your thesis statement.

Body: Write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you should write the elements that make up the subject you are presenting and how these elements fit into society. In the second paragraph, you must show your arguments in relation to these elements, your interpretations and the impacts you recognize. Don't forget to prove your arguments with evidence drawn from your research sources.
