    The Bill of rights are the first 10 Amendments of our constitution. The reason that congress implemented them is because without those 10 Amendments there is no security against a tyrannical government.

    The correct answer to this open question is the following.

    The first Congress add a Bill of Rights to the constitution to outline the rights of individuals.

    During the Constitutional Convention, federalists and anti-federalists debated on their respective arguments. The federalists - led by Alexander Hamilton - favored a strong central government. The antifederalists - led by Thomas Jefferson - did not agree on the idea of having a strong central government that limited the sovereignty of the states, considering that a risk of a government becoming a tyrant. Antifederalists considered that a Bill of Rights that protected the citizen was necessary to limit the power of the government. That is when James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights.
