The Bill of Rights is the name granted the first Ten Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. These amendments protects all of the following: freedom of speech, freedom to bear arms for the purpose of a well-regulated militia, the right to privacy in the home in the context of peacetime housing of soldiers and requiring warrants for searches, the right to protection against self-incrimination, the right to a fair trial, and the right to protection against excessive bails and fines, as well as from unusual punishments. The ninth and tenth amendments cover more legalese coverings, mostly that the amendments are not an exhaustive list of all the rights possessed by the people, and that the states have powers as long as they're not delegated to the federal government nor prohibited to the states by the Constitution.
