Question

what is the purpose of the bill of rights?
o to give people more rights and expand government power
o to alter portions of the original constitution
o to introduce new ways to read the constitution
o to protect individual rights and limit government power

Explanation:

The Bill of Rights consists of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It was added to protect individual liberties (such as freedom of speech, religion, etc.) and limit the power of the federal government. For example, the First Amendment protects freedoms of speech, press, religion, etc., which are individual rights. And it sets boundaries on what the government can do (like not establishing a national religion), thus limiting government power. The other options are incorrect: it wasn't to expand government power (first option wrong), it didn't alter the original Constitution in a fundamental rewrite sense (second option wrong - it was amending by adding, not altering core parts in a major rewrite), and it wasn't about introducing new ways to read the Constitution (third option wrong - it was about adding protective amendments).

Answer:

to protect individual rights and limit government power
