The Bill of Rights refers to: a. the inalienable rights found at the beginning of the Constitution. b. the first ten amendments
to the Constitution. c. a specific listing of individual rights found in the original text of the Constitution. d. a grouping of individual rights set forth by the United States Supreme Court shortly after the Constitution was ratified by the states.
The Bill of rights are the first ten amendments of the constitution. It was proposed by the anti- federalists as a guarantee of personal freedom and rights. It also limited the government's actions by proposing that all the powers that are not explicitly detailed in the US constitution belong to the states and the people. Thus the bill of rights is essentially a guarantee to individual liberties, which gives the people power to propose checks and balances to abusive governmental actions.
