Bill of rights is the changes to the constitution which consist of first ten changes of the constitution in the United States. It promises certain rights and liberties to the people of that country.

Enumeration of rights means listing of the rights in the constitution which does not mean that people who do not have other basic rights which are not present and listed here. This has been said in the ninth amendment.

In guarding the Constitution in the Pennsylvania confirming convention, James Wilson asked who might 'be bold enough to undertake to enumerate all the rights of the people'.

He figured nobody could, yet cautioned that 'if the enumeration is not complete, everything not expressly mentioned will be presumed to be purposely omitted'. The Ninth Amendment, which provides that ''the enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people''.
