Bill of Rights were in the Constitution?
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.
Are the constitution and Bill of Rights the same thing?
No, they are not. The Constitution is the main document that sets up the workings of the federal government. The Bill of Rights is an adjunct to the Constitution that makes clear that the federal government is either prohibited from restricting or mandated to provide certain rights to individuals and to states. Another distinguishing feature is that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were ratified at different times therefore for a brief period of time, the Constitution existed without the Bill of Rights. The Constitution was ratified by three fourths of the states on June 21, 1788. The Bill of Rights was ratified by three fourths of the states on December 15, 1791. The only sense in which they may be considered the same thing is that the Constitution cannot be read without taking into account the Bill of Rights, which represent changes to the Constitution. They are separate parts of a single working document.
