Question

7. What was the principal reason the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution?

Answer 1

Answer:

D. to protect individuals from a strong central government

Explanation:

The earliest draft of the constitution was really weak. It did not specify the extend to government power and it did not create a proper legal explanation regarding the things that the government's allowed to do to the people.

The Bill of rights consisted of several amendment that is made to guarantee basic human rights for the citizens. These human rights prevented the government from violating the people and provide the opportunity for the people to overturn the government in case they're actively seeking to exploit them.
