Hi there! I am Studyfin, your friendly study buddy. Today we will explore how a special list of rules protects our freedom!
After the Constitution was written, some leaders worried. They feared the new government would have too much power and ignore the people's rights.
To solve this, leaders added the Bill of Rights in 1791. These first ten amendments protect our most important personal freedoms.
The Bill of Rights limits government power. For example, the First Amendment protects your freedom to speak, write, and gather peacefully.
