The Bill of Rights consists of the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution. Ratified in 1791, they were added to protect individual liberties (e.g., freedom of speech, religion, the press; right to bear arms; protections against unreasonable searches and seizures; rights of the accused) and to limit the powers of the federal government. Many of its protections have since been applied to the states through the 14th Amendment.
