Today marks the 231st anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights - December 15, 1791.
The Bill of Rights, sometimes called a declaration of rights or a charter of rights, is a list of the most important rights to the citizens of a country. The purpose is to protect those rights against infringement from public officials and private citizens.
Bills of rights may be entrenched or unentrenched. An entrenched bill of rights cannot be amended or repealed by a country's legislature through regular procedure, instead requiring a supermajority or referendum; often it is part of a country's constitution, and therefore subject to special procedures applicable to constitutional amendments. In the case of the U.S. Bill of Rights, it consists of the first 10 amendments to our Constitution.
