What are the bill of rights?

The Bill of Rights is composed of the first 10 amendments of the United States' Constitution.The United States constitution is a set of rules that guides how the country works. The constitution tells what the branches of government are, what powers they have, and how they work. It also states the rights of citizens. So, what does it actually say? It’s a lot simpler than it seems. This is the gist: 

The First Amendment protects the people's right to practice religion, to speak freely, to assemble (meet), to address the government and of the press to publish.

The Second Amendment protects the right to own guns.

The Third Amendment guarantees that the army can't force homeowners to give them room and board.

The Fourth Amendment protects the people from the government improperly taking property, papers, or people, without a valid warrant based on good reason.

The Fifth Amendment is the right to due process of law, freedom from self-incrimination, double jeopardy.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees a speedy trial, an fair jury, and that the accused can confront witnesses against them, and that the accused must be allowed to have a lawyer.

The Seventh Amendment guarantees a jury trial in federal civil court cases. This type of case is normally no longer heard in federal court.

The Eighth Amendment guarantees that punishments will be fair, and not cruel, and that extraordinarily large fines will not be set.

The Ninth Amendment is "Other rights of the people." Simply a statement that other rights aside from those listed may exist, and just because they are not listed doesn't mean they can be violated.

The Tenth Amendment says that any power not granted to the federal government belongs to the states.
