The Bill of Rights were absolutely a necessary addition to the constitution. While some states voted to ratify the original Constitution (without the Bill of Rights) other states refused to ratify due to the perceived lack of individual protections in the document. These states sought to gain those protection while also limiting the overreaching power of the federal government; therefore, these states refused to ratify without the promise of certain rights being added (Krutz 2019). Additionally, each state as its individual entity (not part of a federal government) was already providing its citizens with certain rights. Some states were already offering trials by jury, freedom of religion, and the right to bear arms. However, with the formation of one federal government those protections needed to be offered and afforded to all individuals regardless of what state they lived in. The only way to guarantee those protections was to draft a bill of rights which detailed the protections and more importantly stated that the government could not infringe on said rights.

The Bill of Rights was very much a necessary addition to the Constitution. The Bill of Rights was created because the Anti-Federalists believed that the government had to much power and they weren’t going to use it for good and that their rights were not protected. For example they believed that their rights would be violated if they were not put in writing. While the farmers believed that a stronger national government would allow the farmers to move into the western lands. (Krutz, 2020, 62) The Bill of Rights was created with just 10 amendments, but over the years they have added 17 amendments. Of those 17 amendments the 21st repeals the 18th amendment. (Krutz, 2020, 63). Five of the original 10 amendments were taken from the English Bill of Rights. (Krutz, 2020, 62-63) Of all of the amendments there are 4 amendments that are considered to be very important and they are the thirteenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Nineteenth Amendments. The thirteenth amendment abolished slavery, the fourteenth amendment gave African Americans citizenship, the fifteenth amendment gave African American men the right to vote, and the nineteenth amendment gave women the right to vote. (Krutz, 2020, 63-64) All of these are very important because they are amendments that created a more equal environment for men and women of all races and religions.
