Bill of Rights
Bill of Rights Name given to the first ten amendments to the
Constitution of the United States, ratified in 1791. Several states had agreed to ratify the Constitution (1787) only after George Washington promised to add such a list of liberties. The main rights confirmed were: freedom of worship, of speech, of the press, and of assembly; the right to bear arms; freedom from unreasonable search and seizure; the right to a speedy trial by jury; and protection from self-incrimination.
