Note
The Bill of Rights does not actually grant or guarantee any rights, but rather recognizes them and enumerates them to say what the federal government is forbidden to do.
The First Amendment, for instance, states that Congress "shall make no law" abridging the right of free speech. The Second Amendment, similarly, states that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The remainder of the Bill of Rights follows this pattern. The first ten amendments, which became known as the Bill of Rights, were written that way on purpose, and offered to the enacting states as literal statements of rights that the states themselves already possessed, but feared that a central (federal) government would usurp.
