The Bill of Rights refers to the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. These amendments were added to the Constitution in 1791 and serve to protect the individual rights of American citizens. The Bill of Rights guarantees important freedoms such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, as well as the right to a fair trial, the right to bear arms, and protection from unreasonable search and seizure. The Bill of Rights is considered a cornerstone of American democracy and plays a vital role in ensuring the protection and preservation of individual liberties.
