Which of the following could be considered an argument for a bill of rights?
A. The new U.S. government was not centralized or powerful enough and so needed amendments outlining its power.
B. The original Constitution addressed civil liberties.
C. A clear list of specific protections was needed to guarantee those rights.
D. The theory of reserved powers that was inherent in the constitution implied that any power not written expressly was automatically a power reserved for the states.
This is all about the government being very clear with what rights the people have. D is not very wrong but it only addresses the 10th amendment and it's not the true purpose of the bill of rights. Remember the bill of rights is the first 10 amendments, so think about what the amendments 1 to 9 give citizens.
