Answer:

The Bill of Rights is a list of rights granted to citizens of a country or state. Many countries have a bill of rights today. In the United States, it is the first ten amendments to their constitution. In Canada, the Bill of Rights grants citizens rights under the federal law and not in the constitution; however, the more powerful document actually in the constitution is the Canadian Charter of Human Rights, which applies to laws at all levels (municipal, provincial, federal).
