It depends on the time period. I would say its true back around the 1800's, but around closer to our time, it is false. I hope this helps! ^^
It was to preserve the union.
Answer:
The Bill of Rights consists of the first ten amendments of the US Constitution. This document lists all of the rights guaranteed to American citizens. The Bill of Rights is one of the most important documents in America, as it affects the daily lives of all Americans.
For example, the first amendment of the Bill of Rights gives Americans essential freedoms like the freedom of speech, press religion, right to petition,and right to assemble. So this amendment protects the citizens and gives them the right to: criticize the government without being punished, practice whatever religion they believe in, organize a protest against state and national legislation, etc.
Another example is the sixth amendment. This amendment protects citizens legal rights by ensuring that they have a public trial in which their case is heard by a jury of their peers. This prevents the government from automatically assuming that a person is guilty and throwing them in jail. The Bill of Rights also guarantees the right to an attorney and protection against self-incrimination.

dont take my word for it
When Filipino American farm workers initiated the Delano grape strike on September 8, 1965, to protest for higher wages, Chávez eagerly supported them. Six months later, Chávez and the NFWA led a strike of California grape pickers on the historic farmworkers march from Delano to the California state capitol in Sacramento for similar goals. The UFW encouraged all Americans to boycott table grapes as a show of support. The strike lasted five years and attracted national attention.
<span>In the early 1970s, the UFW organized strikes and boycotts—including the Salad Bowl strike, the largest farm worker strike in U.S. history—to protest for, and later win, higher wages for those farm workers who were working for grape and lettuce growers. The union also won passage of the California Agricultural Labor Relations Act, which gave collective bargaining rights to farm workers. During the 1980s, Chávez led a boycott to protest the use of toxic pesticides on grapes. Bumper stickers reading "NO GRAPES" and "UVAS NO" (the translation in Spanish) were widespread. He again fasted to draw public attention. UFW organizers believed that a reduction in produce sales by 15% was sufficient to wipe out the profit margin of the boycotted product. These strikes and boycotts generally ended with the signing of bargaining agreements. </span>
<span>Chávez undertook a number of spiritual fasts, regarding the act as “a personal spiritual transformation”. In 1968, he fasted for 25 days, promoting the principle of nonviolence. In 1970, Chávez began a fast of ‘thanksgiving and hope’ to prepare for pre-arranged civil disobedience by farm workers. Also in 1972, he fasted in response to Arizona’s passage of legislation that prohibited boycotts and strikes by farm workers during the harvest seasons. These fasts were influenced by the Catholic tradition of doing penance and by Gandhi’s fasts and emphasis of nonviolence.
He used boycotting as well</span>
