Yes we have a bill of rights consisting of the first 10 amendments to the constitution. These were passed on sept. 12 1789 and ratified on dec 15 1791. Unlike those of other countries it is not a grand list of protections for special interest groups, but a brief , clear and concise outline of the limitations of the power of the govt. over individual citizens..It has protected Americans for over 2 centuries from tyranical govt. It has a special place in world history as the most effective preserver of individual freedomever written. It is by far the longest lasting such bill of rights in the world.

What color is the sky where you live?
Awakening from a deep coma wouldn't even explain that idiotic question.
The only logical conclusion I can draw is that you live in Venezuela or some other "peoples republic."
In answer to your question, yes, we have a Bill of Rights. Are you jealous?

before you ridicule the rights you have or lack there of I suggest you spend some time over seas were you really don't have a bill of rights. Perhaps then you would not be so fast to speak so ill of the U.S.

1789, I think. But what is it?
It's not a list of what you (or me, more importantly) may do. It's a list of limits on the government. What da-ya think of that?!
