The correct answer is number 1) rights were added to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights.
In the 1700s, the concept of individualism was so important for Americans that rights were added to the Constitution in the Bill of Rights.
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. It was written by James Madison and it establishes individual civil rights like freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. Madison and others considered that the federal government shouldn't have absolute power and the Bill of rights was the solution.
