Bill of Rights Isabella Mora
The Bill of Rights is an arrangement of the first ten amendments to the Constitution of the U.S.A. The Bill of Rights restrains the U.S government from having much power. James Madison drafted the Bill of Rights. It was finished in 1791. It included multiple rights of everyone in America. They were given the freedom of speech, the press, assembly, and religion.Individuals can bear arms, and no unusual or cruel punishment. You can't be accused twice for the same mistake, and many other amendments. Everyone should have the same equal rights as anyone else, which brings me to Democracy.
