The Bill of Rights is most famous for guaranteeing personal freedoms such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, a free press, free assembly, the right to keep and bear arms, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, security in personal effects, and freedom from warrants issued without probable cause; indictment by a grand jury for any capital or "infamous crime"; guarantee of a speedy, public trial with an impartial jury; and prohibition of double jeopardy.

The Bill of Rights also limits the government's power in judicial and other proceedings, and reserves some powers to the states.
