The Bill of Rights limits the power of the government. Its basic purpose is to protect two kinds of rights: the rights of individual liberty, like freedom of speech, and the rights of persons accused of crimes, like the right to trial by jury. The Bill of Rights originally applied only to the federal government. Over the years, the Supreme Court has ruled that all the provisions of the Bill of Rights apply to the states as well.
Yes. In order to bridge the divide that kept the Constitution from being ratified, a compromise was made that consisted of the passage of the first ten amendments to the constitution, which are called the Bill of Rights, and they were approved the same time the constitution was signed, and later ratified.

The Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence are two separate and distinct documents. The Declaration of Independence explains why it had become necessary for the United States of America to declare its independence from England. The Bill of Rights listed a number of things that congress can not do. There is a connection. After the first four long sentences, The Declaration of Independence contains a bill of particulars. Some of the issues in the bill of particulars are in the bill of rights. You can download the entire Declaration and the entire Constitution and compare the bill of particulars with the Constitution.

Yes, they do. The first ten amendments make up the bill of rights.
The Constitution itself was ratified in 1787. The Bill of Rights, the 1st ten amendments to the Constitution, was added to the Constitution in 1789.
In the US, the US Constitution sets the rules for protecting citizen rights. State constitutions do the same with regard to state laws and their effect on citizens. Individual local laws are designed to protect citizen rights as well.
