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.

What rights does a supervisor have for being falsely accused of racism?
yes, fire the accuser. an employee has falsely accused you of racism, that is lying and can be considered a hostile act in the work environment. More information: A supervisor falsely accused of racism may fire the employee ONLY if the accusation was made deliberately with knowledge that the accusations are without merit. If after investigation and/or hearing on the matter, it is determined that the accusations did not amount to actionable racism BUT were made in good faith, the supervisor has no right to take any action. Any adverse action taken against an employee after a finding that the accusations were made in good faith would constitute prohibited retaliatory action and the supervisor could be punished for that alone.
