Answer 1

D. a Bill of Rights would be established to protect individual freedoms

Step-by-step explanation:

The Founding Fathers, the group of leaders who drafted the US Constitution, recognized the need to secure support for the new document among the states and the people. In order to achieve this, they promised to create a Bill of Rights that would protect the individual liberties and rights of citizens from infringement by the new federal government. This promise helped to win over support from those who were concerned about the potential for abuse of power by the government under the new Constitution.
