Answer:
Bill of Rights of the United States of America (1791)
Explanation:
The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights. James Madison wrote the amendments, which list specific prohibitions on governmental power, in response to calls from several states for greater constitutional protection for individual liberties. For example, the Founders saw the ability to speak and worship freely as a natural right protected by the First Amendment. Congress is prohibited from making laws establishing religion or abridging freedom of speech. The Fourth Amendment safeguards citizens’ right to be free from unreasonable government intrusion in their homes through the requirement of a warrant. The Bill of Rights was strongly influenced by the Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason. Other precursors include English documents such as the Magna Carta, the Petition of Right, the English Bill of Rights, and the Massachusetts Body of Liberties. One of the many points of contention between Federalists, who advocated a strong national government, and Anti-Federalists, who wanted power to remain with state and local governments, was the Constitution’s lack of a bill of rights that would place specific limits on government power. Federalists argued that the Constitution did not need a bill of rights, because the people and the states kept any powers not given to the federal government. Anti-Federalists held that a bill of rights was necessary to safeguard individual liberty. Madison, then a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, altered the Constitution’s text where he thought appropriate. However, several representatives, led by Roger Sherman, objected, saying that Congress had no authority to change the wording of the Constitution. Therefore, Madison’s changes were presented as a list of amendments that would follow Article VII. The House approved 17 amendments. Of these, the Senate approved 12, which were sent to the states for approval in August 1789. Ten amendments were approved (or ratified). Virginia’s legislature was the final state legislature to ratify the amendments, approving them on December 15, 1791.

It's not answer A because its wording does not make sense. Along with that, It's not B or C because practicing new skills is only a part of why they made tools, and to learn a craft also doesn't make sense. So, it just made life easier to have tools.

That perfect picture of the American Dream: A white picket fence, 2.5 kids, a dog and friendly neighbors — they all require a suburban location.
But according to one new book, that picture is changing. Americans are leaving the suburbs. In fact, for the first time a century, cities are growing faster than the ‘burbs. Leigh Gallagher, assistant managing editor at Fortune, looks into why in her new book “The End of the Suburbs: Where The American Dream is Moving.”
And while many people think of the growth of the suburbs as an explosion of American independence, the buildup of places like Levittown were actually quite planned by the government — especially with the help of things like tax deductions.
She attributes part of the change not to a sudden desire to live like Manhattanites, but instead a desire for more community.
“It’s not just about moving back to the city, it’s not like everyone wants to live in a New York City skyscraper,” said Gallagher. “People want to be in communities that are livelier, where they can get to know their neighbors more.”
Part of the change is also attributed to the “huge demographic bombshell” of young families who are choosing to stay in cities with children — whereas the suburbs are full of older generation, baby boomers.
Throughout the writing process, Gallagher even got sick of talking about the topic, which she found inspires so much debate and passion in people.
“So many people grew up in the suburbs, it’s where most people in this country live. It strikes a chord with everyone,” she adds.
