The US Bill of Rights exists due to the decision of the framers of the constitution in 1783 to codify (make law) a specific list of the most important freedoms which must be safeguarded for the United States of America to begin its life as a constitutional democracy. Therefore, the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution became known as the US Bill of Rights.
The central idea was the rights to a citizen of a country and the purpose was to protect those rights from infringement and public officials and private citizens.
