Which option BEST summarizes the author's MAIN argument? (A) The Bill of Rights was influenced by earlier legal documents and was vital to passing the U. S. Constitution. The protections from the Bill of Rights were later extended to the states as well as the federal government.

(B) Initially, the lack of a bill of rights became a fashionable reason to oppose the Constitution. James Madison promised to write a series of amendments to get enough votes to approve the Constitution.

(C) Protecting the rights of people from their government originated in England with the Magna Carta. This document and other state constitutions inspired the U. S. Bill of Rights.

(D) Originally the Bill of Rights only protected people against the federal government trying to take their rights. Later action in the Supreme Court and other amendments expanded this protection substantially.
