Publisher's Synopsis
The Bill of Rights is the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution. It spells out Americans' rights about their government. It guarantees civil rights and liberties to the individual-like freedom of speech, press, and religion. It sets rules for due process of law and reserves all powers not delegated to the Federal Government to the people of the States. And it specifies that "the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
