When it was attached to the Constitution, it allayed fears
of that the National Government would not respect their rights. It forbade National Government from overstepping
people’s rights. The attachment of the Bill also gained the support of the
people that enabled the Constitution to be ratified and paved the way to a new
Constitution. It is an important feature
because the Bill prohibits Government from taking away our rights to free
speech or to choose our religion. In the
long term, the Bill of Rights taught us to value our rights.
