All of the above responses are correct. The Bill of Rights protects individuals by restricting the federal and state governments from abusing their natural rights, such as freedom of speech, religion, and assembly. It also protects against unreasonable searches and seizures by requiring law enforcement to obtain a warrant before searching someone's home. Additionally, it lists specific civil rights and provides penalties if these rights are violated. Lastly, it allows citizens to have a say in determining the rules and limitations that the government must follow.
