∙ 7y agoThe Bill Of Rights is the name given to the first ten amendments to the US Constitution. They were passed by the House of Representatives in 1789 and eventually accepted as Constitutional Amendments on December 15th 1791, when Congress (about 75% of the States) ratified the legislation. Clearly anyone who feared an oppressive central government could find comfort in the Bill of Rights. Also, any foreign government or foreign people or press could see by these first ten amendments that the new American government guaranteed many rights that many European governments did not guarantee.
