A Bill of Rights is a document that outlines and guarantees certain rights and freedoms for citizens of a country. It is a set of laws that limit the powers of the government and protects the rights of citizens.
In the United States, the Bill of Rights is the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, which were added in 1791. The Bill of Rights is directed towards protecting individual liberties and rights of American citizens, such as freedom of speech, religion, press, the right to bear arms, the right to a fair trial, and the prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. It is designed to limit the power of the government and ensure that citizens have certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government.
