The Bill Of Rights The Bill of Rights, which is the first ten amendments of the U.S Constitution, has always been very important to the United States of America. It was added to address fears about the Constitution not providing sufficient protection against the abuses of power by the federal government. The Bill of Rights is just as important to civilization today, as it was when it was first enacted. Though times has changed along with perspectives, it is still the reason why U.S. citizens live the way they do now. Without the Bill of Rights, it is impossible for people to live in peace, justice, and harmony. The Bill of Rights was very important at the time it was enacted. It established freedom of expression, which generated a popular understanding of American freedom. It also ensured that people are important because it protects their rights as well as their freedom. The freedoms of speech and of the press were among the most important because they were building blocks of a democratic public sphere. The Bill of Rights became a set of laws that spoke about every citizen in the United States. Although the Bill of Rights granted U.S. citizens with amazing rights, some citizens are guilty of taking them too far. For example, the first amendment grants citizens with the freedom of speech, but that does not allow citizens to be rude and disrespectful to others and not exhibit common courtesy. The first amendment also permits citizens to petition freely,m et citizens get out of hand with it, such as the situation in Ferguson, Missouri with the shooting of Mike Brown. The second amendment provides U.S. citizens with the right to bear arms, however citizens do not have the freedom to kill anyone for an unnecessary reason. These examples are not needed in the uniting of this nation. The Bill of Rights is still very important today because it allows people in the United States to live freely. It continues to grant
