The Bill of Rights helped to satisfy the arguments of some critics of the U.S. Constitution by explicitly protecting individual rights and freedoms. The critics of the Constitution were worried that the government would have too much power and that the rights of the people would not be adequately protected. The Bill of Rights addressed these concerns by outlining specific rights that are protected from government infringement, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the right to bear arms. This helped to alleviate the fears of those who were concerned about government overreach and provided a clear framework for protecting individual liberties.
