No. The Bill of Rights are the first ten ammendments. They define what your basic rights and responsibilities of being a US citizen. You can find copies of both those documents pretty much anywhere. I have a copy in my political science book, I'm sure you could find them on the Internet for reference.
The Bill of Rights and the Constitution should never be separated.

They definately go hand-in-hand, but they're two separate documents.
