The written list of freedoms that the government promises to protect is found in the Bill of Rights, the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. These amendments guarantee essential rights such as freedom of speech, religion, the press, assembly, and the right to petition the government. They also include protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, double jeopardy, self-incrimination, and ensure due process and the right to a fair trial. These freedoms are fundamental to American democracy and the protection of individual liberties.
