Answer 1

The statement that best compares and contrasts the Bill of Rights with the Declaration of Independence is:

"The Bill of Rights emphasizes protection of individual rights that the king had denied American colonists, but it also provides a framework for government."

This statement effectively highlights that while both documents address issues of rights, the Bill of Rights serves a dual purpose by both protecting individual rights and outlining the structure and limits of government authority, whereas the Declaration of Independence primarily focuses on justifying the separation from British rule and asserting the colonies' rights.
