4) the Bill of Rights included specific rights for people.

Though the Constitution stated natural rights would be protected and there were limitations on the government, nothing was stated specifically. Those supporting the Bill of Rights were fearful that without specifically stated rights, the government would eventually strip people of their rights.

The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments is the Constitution and were passed after the Constitution was passed. The amendments spell out specific rights citizens have and the government is required to protect.
