A bill of rights can be a statement of certain rights that may be guaranteed to citizens or residents of a society, legal jurisdiction, or nation-state; or an enumeration of rights they would like to have or believe they ought to have. In some jurisdictions, a bill of rights is included in the constitution or Basic Law of that nation-state. When embedded in a constitution, such a bill can prescribe the limits of power the government has to intervene in the lives of its citizens.
The United States Constitution is self-defined as the supreme law of the United States of America, along with laws made in pursuance of the Constitution, and treaties with foreign nations.

The Constitution establishes the fact of, the purpose of, the form of the United States of America and its government. The so called bill of rights is really a series of ten amendments to the constitution that prohibit the government from curtailing, infringing, or prohibiting the rights mentioned of the people , these rights being regarded as naturally inherent in every human being, "given" to us by the laws of nature, not by any government.
So since the first ten amendments are a part of the Constitution, there is no difference....

OK it is THE Bill of Rights and that is simply the First Ten Amendments to the Constitution. The Constitution includes the orginal document and ALL the Amendments.

The Bill of Rights was created to cover omissions of the Constitution, and attempts to protect the rights of citizens. Unfortunately, the far left does not want us to have a Bill of Rights, so they are redefining the words and meaning in it in ridiculous ways.
