Does the US Constitution include the Bill of Rights?

The Constitution itself was ratified in 1787. The Bill of Rights, the 1st ten amendments to the Constitution, was added to the Constitution in 1789.

What in the Bill of Rights was not included in the final Constitution?
The Constitution was signed by the delegates and authenticated by George Washington without the Bill of Rights -- the first ten amendments to the Constitution. When the Constitution was sent to the 13 states for ratification, the Bill of Rights was not included, and many states would have failed to ratify without an iron-clad promise that certain rights would be memorialized in writing later. Eventually, all 13 state legislatures ratified the original document, and the Bill of Rights was added subsequently.
