===In 1787, a group of men called framers all met together. They met to talk about what should be in the constitution. They did this because at the time, the United States was a new country. The United States had not had a very well working government. Finally, after thinking and talking of what should be added, they had figured it out. They had to add amendments. Adding theses amendments would protect peoples rights. Therefore, the amendments were created to keep a good working government.===
