The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution because key states refused to ratify the Constitution unless it was included. During the debates surrounding the ratification of the Constitution, many states expressed concerns that individual liberties were not adequately protected. To address these concerns and facilitate the ratification process, the Bill of Rights, which comprises the first ten amendments to the Constitution, was proposed and ultimately added to ensure the protection of individual rights.
