(bill of rights)
The Bill of Rights are the first 10 Amendments of the Constitution. They are liberties given to the people to protect them from government. The most popular one is the 1st Amendment, which states we have the freedom, of speech, religion, assembly, and the freedom to petition. Without the basic liberties listed in the Bill of Rights, the government would have control of us and the United States would be a corrupt, tyrant nation.
The Amendments were written to protect the states and the people from a too-powerful federal government.
The Ninth Amendment states that the Constitution does not deny or disparage other rights that belong to the people, even if they are not specifically mentioned. The Tenth Amendment states that powers not delegated to the federal government are reserved for the states or the people. These amendments emphasize the protection of individual rights and the limitation of the federal government's authority.
Amendment 9
The Bill of Rights is the original first 10 Amendments to the United States Constitution. Basically it was to set limits on what the government can and cannot do in regard to personal liberties, and it helped secure the ratification of the United States Constitution.

The first ten Amendments were ratified together, reaching ratification by three-quarters of the States then comprising the Union, on December 15, 1791. Previously, Amendments I-X were considered the "Bill of Rights". Modernly, the Bill of Rights is considered only Amendments I-VIII, because only these Amendments describe individual rights. Amendment IX and Amendment X refer to collective, residual rights reserved to the People and to the States.
The Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution in response to Anti-Federalist fears that the new government would take away the liberties of the people and the states.
