The Bill of Rights protects citizens' basic freedoms, such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom before the law, and several other important individual liberties. These protections allow Americans to more easily live happy, free, and productive lives.
By listing them explicitly, the Bill of Rights ensures these rights will be protected. It provides written directions to those in the federal government on how to enact new laws without infringing on the underpinnings of these unalienable rights.
The United States Declaration of Independence was made by President Jefferson gives the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The bill of rights was made to protect anyone that is a native to the country from any excessive power of the government in ruling and to remain free through the rights that God has given to the human kind.
George Wallace ran in the 1968 United States presidential election as the candidate for the American Independent Party against Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey.
