Yes. The constitution contains the Bill of Rights which are the first 10 amendments.
The Bill of Rights is an example of how Enlightenment is reflected in the United?æStates Constitution. The Bill of Rights makes sure the government is held responsible for protecting its citizens.
Their purpose is preserve our rights as people of the United States, and make it clear what our rights are as citizens. The Bill of Rights (aka the 1st 10 amendments) was also used to get the Anti-Federalists to support the Constitution's ratification. They worried that without these guarantees, the federal government could restrict the freedoms sought and won by the colonies.
The Constitution is incredibly relevant. In the US it still functions as supreme law and is at the center of many debates regarding what rights citizens have and what laws they must follow. Abroad, the Constitution was used as a framework for many newly democratic countries, making it incredibly important for those countries as well.

The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution allowed criminals to be used as slaves through a loophole that permitted involuntary servitude as punishment for a crime. This was later challenged and altered by the 1865 Civil Rights Act, which granted equal rights and protection under the law to all citizens, regardless of their criminal status.
