Answer

the Bill of Rights made it easier to overthrow the government.

the Bill of Rights included specific rights for people.

Explanation

Supporters of natural rights believed people possessed basic rights that government should protect, not take away. They supported adding the Bill of Rights because it explicitly limited the federal government’s power to violate those rights. Choice C describes what the Bill of Rights contains, but limiting government power best explains why natural-rights supporters advocated for it.
