D. it would protect individual citizen freedom

The correct answer is "D"

The United States Bill of Rights is the collective name given to the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States approved on December 15, 1791. It was an answer to calm the fears of antifederalist groups, some of them they were influential opponents of the Constitution, and prominent members of the Philadelphia Convention, who argued that it failed to defend the basic principles of human freedom. These amendments guarantee a series of personal freedoms, limit the power of the government in judicial processes and others; and some faculties are reserved for the states and the people. Originally the modifications applied only to the federal government, however, most were subsequently applied to the government of each state through the Fourteenth Amendment through a process known as incorporation.

The Bill of Rights lists liberties that are not expressly indicated in the main body of the Constitution, such as freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of the press and freedom of assembly, among other things.
