Steven Durham · Answer 1

The first ten amendment to the United States constitution, which is a general listing of the rights of the people is known as the Bill of Rights.

Explanation:

When there were no general rights of the people listed in the constitution, there was an outcry by the people which prompted those additions. These rights defend the American citizens' freedoms and grant them freedom of speech, religion, assemble and due process of law.

The Bill of Rights was conscripted in New York City by James Madison and were ratified in 1791.
