Answer:

"James Madison wrote the amendments, which list specific prohibitions on governmental power, in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties. For example, the Founders saw the ability to speak and worship freely as a natural right protected by the First Amendment."

Step-by-step explanation:

In other words, they wanted to limit the government's power over the individual states and individual people. They didn't want it to be like a monarchy, a kingdom, since that is what they just escaped from.
