anyone know what is the bill of rights in U.S?

Answer 1

In the United States, the Bill of Rights is the term for the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. Completed in 1789, ratified in 1791.

These amendments explicitly limit the Federal government's powers, protecting the rights of the people by preventing Congress from abridging freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religious worship, and the right to bear arms, preventing unreasonable search and seizure, cruel and unusual punishment, and self-incrimination, and guaranteeing due process of law and a speedy public trial with an impartial jury. In addition, the Bill of Rights states that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people,"[1] and reserves all powers not granted to the Federal government to the citizenry or States. These amendments came into effect on December 15, 1791, when ratified by three-fourths of the States.

Initially drafted by James Madison in 1789, the Bill of Rights was written at a time when ideological conflict between Federalists and anti-Federalists, dating from the Philadelphia Convention in 1787, threatened the Constitution's ratification. The Bill was influenced by James Mason's 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights, the 1689 English Bill of Rights, works of the Age of Enlightenment pertaining to natural rights, and earlier English political documents such as the Magna Carta (1215). The Bill was largely a response to the Constitution's influential opponents, including prominent Founding Fathers, who argued that it failed to protect the basic principles of human liberty.

The Bill of Rights plays a central role in American law and government, and remains a fundamental symbol of the freedoms and culture of the nation. One of the original fourteen copies of the Bill of Rights is on public display at the National Archives in Washington, DC.

The original documents actually contain 12 amendments; however, the first two were not initially ratified, though the second one was ratified two centuries later as the 27th Amendment. Since the first two amendments dealt with Congress itself rather than the rights of the people, the term "Bill of Rights" has traditionally meant only the amendments numbered "third" through "twelfth" in the documents, which were ratified as the first ten amendments; that traditional usage has continued even since the ratification of the 27th Amendment.

Answer 2

The Bill of Rights is basically the first ten amendments to the constitution. People back when our constitution was written did not want to accept it without someone telling them that everything that the king took away from them would be protected. So the first job of our government (well second government) was to make this bill of rights that made sure that no one could take away the rights of citizens. Rights including freedom of speech, religion, right to assemble, right to own a gun, and blah blah blah.
Remember though that it's only the first ten and not the rest of them that is the bill of rights and not just amendments.
