The Bill of Rights limits the power of the government. Its basic purpose is to protect two kinds of rights: the rights of individual liberty, like freedom of speech, and the rights of persons accused of crimes, like the right to trial by jury. The Bill of Rights originally applied only to the federal government. Over the years, the Supreme Court has ruled that all the provisions of the Bill of Rights apply to the states as well.
