Answer:

To protect the rights of individuals from the federal government

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bill of Rights, which are the first ten Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, was proposed during the debates over the proposed constitution by the Anit-Federalists, a loose political coalition that feared that without a list of rights that stated people's liberties, the government would abuse from its power just like the British government abused from American colonists before America became independent. Therefore, the main reason why the Founding Fathers included the Bill of Rights was to protect the rights of individuals (such as the right to express and to a fair trial) from the federal government.
