The correct answer is B. The protection of individual rights
Explanation:
The Constitution of the U.S. contains seven articles that define the most important principles of government, as well as twenty-seven amendments. From these amendments, the first ten are known as the Bill of Rights because these amendments focus on protecting individuals' rights.
This is especially true for the first ninth amendments because all of these amendments refer to basic rights or protections to citizens. For example, the first amendment protects the freedom of religion, speech, among others; the fourth amendment forbids unfair searches, and the ninth amendment establishes rights go beyond those established in the Constitution.
