The first ten amendments to the Constitution of the United States is called the "Bill of Rights". It is a list of restrictions on governmental power. The rest of the Constitution cover "how the government does things". The Bill of Rights says "The government MAY NOT DO these things". The idea of restrictions on government power was novel and innovative in its day, and even today many people - including lawmakers and lawyers - have difficulty with the idea that there are some things governments are not allowed to do.
The first ten changes to the constitution are also the first ten Amendments (that's a change to the constitution). These ten amendments are collectively called the "Bill of Rights"; is this for a citizenship test or government test? : )
