The Bill of Rights The most significant amendments to the Constitution are the first ten, also known as The Bill of Rights. These amendments were added to the Constitution at the insistence of the Anti-Federalist forces during the debates over ratification. The fear of a dominating federal government, such as the colonists had experienced under English rule, led many to demand assurances that specific rights and liberties were going to be protected. It is the Bill of Rights that stands till today as the greatest guarantee of these rights and liberties upon which America was founded.
