YOOOoOoOoO @:) is right

Certainly! I can help you understand how the Bill of Rights in the U.S Constitution limits the government.

The correct answer is D. The Bill of Rights limits the government by granting certain rights to people that the government cannot violate.

To arrive at this answer, let's break down the other options:

A. The separation of state and federal powers is primarily addressed in the Constitution itself, not specifically in the Bill of Rights.

B. Giving the authority to rule the people is not accurate because the Bill of Rights aims to limit the government's power, not provide it with more authority over the people.

C. While establishing the rule of law is an important principle in the U.S Constitution, the Bill of Rights specifically focuses on protecting individual rights and limiting the government's ability to infringe upon these rights.

Therefore, option D is the correct answer, as the Bill of Rights sets out specific rights such as freedom of speech, assembly, and religion, as well as protections against unlawful search and seizure, self-incrimination, and cruel and unusual punishment. These rights act as a check on the government's power, ensuring that it does not violate individual freedoms.

So, in summary, the Bill of Rights limits the government by granting certain rights to people that the government cannot violate.
