according to the bill of rights, what did the people who wrote the amendments to the constitution hope to achieve?
○ a. they wanted to set new limits on personal freedoms.
○ b. they wanted to create a new structure for governing bodies.
○ c. they wanted to inspire more public confidence in the government.
○ d. they wanted to establish more protections for those who serve the public.

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to protect individual liberties and rights. It was not about limiting personal freedoms (A is wrong). It wasn't about creating a new governing structure (B is wrong). It was about protecting the people, not just those who serve the public (D is wrong). By protecting rights, it could inspire public confidence in the government as it showed the government was committed to safeguarding the people's rights.

Answer:

C. They wanted to inspire more public confidence in the government.
