The Bill of Rights comprises the first ten amendments to the Constitution, protecting fundamental individual liberties including freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and the right to bear arms.
The Bill of Rights establishes the foundation of American civil liberties and limits government power over individual rights, forming the basis for modern constitutional law.
The Bill of Rights initially only applied to the federal government—most provisions were later applied to states through the Fourteenth Amendment.
