Bill of Rights (U.S.)
The Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. It guarantees fundamental freedoms and protections for individuals, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press; the right to bear arms; protections against unreasonable searches and seizures; and rights to fair trials. It also limits government power by ensuring individuals are protected from excessive government interference and abuses. These rights help maintain personal freedoms and ensure a balance of power between citizens and the government.
