Best Answer

The Declaration of Independence stated that "all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights . . . namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

The Bill of Rights was an attempt to name and quantify those important rights, making it more clear and giving the citizens a better understanding of what that meant.
