On December 15th 1791, the 10 amendments known as the Bill of Rights were added to the
Constitution. The Bill of Rights protects the freedoms that are part of American life. Some
of the freedoms and rights protected in the Bill of Rights include:
• Freedom of Religion
• Freedom of Assembly
• Freedom of Speech
• Freedom of the Press
Since the first 10
amendments of the
Bill of Rights were
written, 17 more
have been added.
Today, some 200
years later, the
Constitution is still
the set of laws that
govern the United States.
Imagine you could make up the
laws for a country. Would you
want the laws to be for
everyone?
This is a question the people
thought about over two centuries
ago when they wrote the set of
laws that are used to govern the
United States.
It took many and lots of
talking, thinking and writing to
finally come up with a set of
that the leaders of all of the
original colonies could agree upon.
First they wrote a set of laws
called the Constitution. But even
after it was written, some
Americans worried that the
Constitution did not
important . The
writers of the Constitution made
some additions, or amendments, to
ease people's worries.
