Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bill of Rights, consisting of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, was added in 1791, not during the Philadelphia convention, not in stages through 1789 to 1798, not in response to the freeing of the slaves during the Civil War, and not due to Jacksonian democracy. It was added to address the concerns of Anti-Federalists about the lack of protection of individual liberties in the original Constitution.
