A bill of rights is a list enshrining the most crucial rights of a nation's citizens. Its primary aim is to safeguard these rights from encroachment by both government entities and individuals. The Bill of Rights typically includes fundamental freedoms such as freedom of speech, religion, the press, the right to bear arms, protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the right to due process and a fair trial. It also addresses issues like quartering soldiers and other potential government overreaches. The Bill of Rights is designed to ensure individual liberties are protected and to limit the power of the government.
