The Bill of Rights protects the basic rights of Americans. These rights are important freedoms that help people live safely and freely. For example, the Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to a fair trial. These rights limit the power of the government.

The Bill of Rights also protects the basic rights of people living in the United States. These protections are not only for citizens. Many rights apply to all people in the country, such as the right to due process and protection from unfair punishment. In this way, the Bill of Rights helps protect everyone’s freedom and dignity.
