Being able to express yourself without worrying about being punished for it. Nothing is more important to a person.
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.
Many Anti-Federalists refused to ratify the Constitution without a Bill of Rights to protect the people from the government.

We really don't know about that. Remember that kings could do anything without getting punished by law.

Bill of Attiander
In Clause 4 of Article 1 of the Constitution, it states that "Neither House may adjourn, without the consent of the other, for more than three days".
A bill of attainder allows a person or a group to be punished without trail. The Constitution forbids it because it was considered to be an abusive power and it was the court's job, not the Congress's, to decide the punishment.
No, that is called a Bill of Attainder as they are expressly forbidden by the Constitution. A Bill of Attainder is specifically defined as a law that punishes an individual or group without a trial.
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.
The original Florida Constitution, adopted in 1838, permitted slavery and established the legal rights of slaveholders. It outlined rules for the treatment and control of enslaved individuals, including provisions for the ownership, buying, selling, and punishment of slaves. The Constitution also prohibited the emancipation of slaves without the consent of their owners.
