I believe is it because it says it’s equal to it
The Declaration of Independence was merely a document declaring just that, the colonies' independence from the British crown. It contained three parts. The first section, the Natural Rights Theory, which listed the ideas that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. The second section, Grievances against the King, which listed, quite extensively, the ways <em>King George III </em>had misused his power and acted like a tyrant, such as imposing taxes and tariffs without consent, cutting off trade, and keeping a standing army against the colonies. The third section, the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire, establishes the colonies to be in open rebellion and to be fully independent.
The Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments from the Constitution of the United States of America. It lists the inalienable rights the framers of the Constitution believed the American people held. The Bill of Rights is a piece of legislature, it conveys the personal freedoms enjoyed by all Americans, such as the right to free speech, the right to petition the government, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to a fair and speedy trial, and right against unlawful search and seizure, to name a few. The Constitution can be altered, and has been, 27 times. The Declaration of Independence does not need to be amended, as it merely declared our independence from the British crown.
Although both extremely important documents for the American people and American history, the Constitution is apart of our everyday lives, whether we know it or not. The freedoms we experience in the United States is due to the Constitution's stipulations about such freedoms. The Declaration was, and still remains, just a declaration of independence.

That's pretty vague. What country? A liberal republic? A political constitutionalist nation? The people? The Constitution? The Supreme Court? The budget? The budget does a pretty good job of limiting political action!
