Yes, that is correct. The inclusion of the Bill of Rights in the U.S. Constitution was primarily aimed at guaranteeing the protection of basic rights and freedoms for individuals. It was a response to concerns that the original Constitution did not adequately protect individual liberties from potential government infringement. The Bill of Rights establishes essential civil rights and liberties, which has been crucial in shaping American legal and cultural principles.
