The Bill of Rights is also known as the ten amendments, to or of the United States Constitution. The Bill of Rights was introduced in 1789 to the First United States Congress, by a guy named James Madison. The Bill of Rights was a series of legislative articles & came into effect as Constitutional Amendments on December 15, 1791. The ten amendments were freedom of speech, right to keep and bare arms, protection from quartering of troops, protection from unreasonable search and seizure, self incrimination, right to counsel, civil trial by jury, prohibition of excessive bail and cruel and usual punishment, protection of rights not specifically enumerated in the Constitution, and Powers of States and people. Bill of Rights is also a series of limitations on the power of the United States federal government, protecting the natural rights of liberty and property. These Bill of Rights were created on September 25, 1789 & ratified on December 15, 1791. To be ratified means to confirm or to have approval, so that means the United States Bill of Rights was approved on December 15, 1791. Other than that there aren’t only ten amendments there are way more but the ten amendments are most important. I wanted to have a page on the Bill of Rights because the Bill of Rights is part or has part of the Constitution. I also chose to have the bill of rights on this page because I didn’t know what The United States Bill of Rights were, but as I researched & read I now know what they are. After the leaders of the new United States wrote the Constitution, they had to get the thirteen states to agree to it. Some of the states didn't want to agree unless they could add some specific rights for individual people. So in 1791 the United States added ten new rights to the Constitution; This is the Bill of Rights.
