The correct answers are:

**B:** To allay concerns that the creation of a more powerful central government would lead to tyranny.
**C:** To enumerate explicit protections for individual rights and civil liberties.

Choice A is not correct, as the Bill of Rights was adopted to limit the power of the central government, not to expand its authority over the states.
