The rights listed in the Bill of Rights include:

The freedom of religion, speech, the press, assembly, and petition (1st Amendment)

The right to bear arms (2nd Amendment)

The freedom from quartering of troops (3rd Amendment)

The freedom from search or seizure (4th Amendment)

The freedom from self-incrimination, and the right of due process (5th Amendment)

The right to a prompt, public, trial by jury, and right to legal counsel (6th Amendment)

The right to a civil trial by jury (7th Amendment)

The freedom from excessive bail or cruel punishment (8th Amendment)

Other rights determined as intrinsic to the individual (9th Amendment)

Note

The Bill of Rights does not actually grant or guarantee any rights, but rather recognizes them and enumerates them to say what the federal government is forbidden to do.

The First Amendment, for instance, states that Congress "shall make no law" abridging the right of free speech. The Second Amendment, similarly, states that "the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." The remainder of the Bill of Rights follows this pattern. The first ten amendments, which became known as the Bill of Rights, were written that way on purpose, and offered to the enacting states as literal statements of rights that the states themselves already possessed, but feared that a central (federal) government would usurp.
