The 10 amendments known as the bill of rights were originally intended as restrictions against
a.
the already existing states.
b.
any new states that would enter the union.
c.
the new national government.
d.
both the national government and state governments.

I believe the answer is: c.the new National Government.

The new national government wanted the govenrment to have lesser power so it is much easier for people to change the governemnt officials in case the government started violating human rights.

The 10 amendments that proposed by james madison is designed to counter such fear while still providing the central government with enough power to rule the country.

The 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights were originally intended as restrictions against C. the new national government. It was intended for the citizen to be powerful, not the government.
