The Bill of Rights are the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. These protect our rights to keep the people of our country safe from government tyranny. These are essential for us to know and also to teach our children.
1. Freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition.
2. Right to keep and bear arms in order to maintain a well regulated militia.
3. No quartering of soldiers.
