It was added to please supporters of the Constitution.

Explanation

The Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments, and it protects freedoms and legal rights, including fair procedures in criminal cases. So the true statement is that it protects citizens’ right to fair legal procedures. The Constitution originally had no Bill of Rights; it was added partly to address objections from people who opposed ratification, not simply to please supporters.
