This is false. The state that the previous answer has given falls short. An American's CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS are given via the Bill of Rights. Americans' Civil Rights came much later on in history. Think about the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960's.

False

The Bill of Rights contains constitutional rights (whereas civil rights came afterwards)
