The Bill of Rights is a list of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. These amendments were added in 1791 to protect the rights of individuals from the government. For example, the First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, which means people can express their opinions without fear of punishment. If someone wants to speak out against a law or share their ideas, they can do so freely. The Bill of Rights ensures that everyone has basic rights and freedoms that the government cannot take away, helping to create a fair society for all citizens.
