1. What does the Bill of Rights Protect?
2. What do you think the US would be like if it were still under the articles of confederation
3. What was the original purpose of the Constitutional convention

Answer 1

The Bill of Rights guarantees (or protects) the civil right and liberties of an individual.

The US would have a weak national government comprised of a one-house legislature, and only Congress would have the power to declare war and other things like that.

The original purpose of the Constitutional convention was to decide on a way to govern the new nation (America). It was also used to revise the articles of confederation.
