What is the Bill of Rights? The Bill of Rights is a list of the rights of each individual person in the United States. © Erin Kathryn 2014

When the Constitution was signed in 1787, it did not include a Bill of Rights. This upset many people because they feared a strong central government. The authors of the Constitution included a way to add amendments, or changes, to the Constitution because they knew the nation would grow and change over time. © Erin Kathryn 2014

People wanted to be sure that a strong federal government would still recognize the rights of each individual citizen. In 1791, James Madison wrote amendments that listed all of the rights that were to be protected for each individual. This limited the power of the federal government because they are rights that the government can never take away. The 10 amendments, known as the Bill of Rights, were ratified, or accepted. © Erin Kathryn 2014

First Amendment The government cannot support any religion over another. Citizens can practice any religion they choose. People can say, write, or publish their opinions. Citizens are free to come together and ask the government to make changes. © Erin Kathryn 2014
