Why was there a bill of rights added to the us constitution

I believe it was added to the Constitution to protect people from the government having too much power.

The Bill of Rights was added to guarantee personal freedoms and limitate the power of the Federal government.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments to the U.S. Consitution and they were added because of the fear of the people to have strong central power with no limitations. The citizens saw that the Constitution did not expressly guarantee certain freedoms that were very important. Such as the freedom of speech and the fact that the powers not granted to the Congress by the Constitution remain for the State or the people.

I hope this answer helps you.
