What is the different between the constitution and the bill of rights?

Answer 1

The Bill of Rights of the United States is part of the Constitution. The Constitution is the supreme law. The Bill of Rights is a set of amendments that limit the authority of the federal government and guarantee rights of the people.

Answer 2

Neither. The Constitution grants the federal government a limited set of powers. Your rights are endowed by your creator, some of these rights are enshrined in the Bill of Rights. Absent the Bill of Rights, you would still have the same rights. The US Constitution is written to protect your unalienable rights. These rights boil down to three things. 1. You have the right to life and the ability to defend your life. 2. You have the right to liberty. Which means the ability to live your life how you see fit without interference from others. 3. You have the right to the pursuit of happiness. This is not so easy to define, but probably comes from an Epicurean philosophical tradition and has a lot to do with the virtues of the society you live in.
