The Bill of Rights refers to the first ten amendments included in the American Constitution, which are there to protect basic civil and natural liberties. People in favor of the Constitution were known as the Federalists, and the opposite were Anti-Federalists because they didn't want to have a unified country and a strong central government. So the Bill of Rights was created in part to help alleviate the Anti-Federalists' fears about the Constitution and make them accept it.

Jefferson believed that a Bill of Rights was necessary to protect civil liberties and that, without a list of protected rights, the government could abuse its power. As a result, the Bill of Rights protects personal expression and property and legal rights. Madison, on the other hand, thought listing specific rights could ultimately limit the unmentioned rights that also needed to be protected. His concerns were answered by the inclusion of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments, which address the rights not specifically listed in the Constitution.
