Why were The Bill of Rights added to the constitution and what are The Bill of Rights?

The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to address concerns that the original document did not sufficiently protect individual liberties and rights. Ratified in 1791, it consists of the first ten amendments, which guarantee fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, the right to bear arms, and protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, among others. This addition aimed to ensure that the federal government could not infringe upon these essential freedoms.
