The Bill of Rights (English: Bill of Rights) is the unofficial name for the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution, which enshrine the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual. The amendments were proposed by James Madison on September 25, 1789 at a session of the first United States Congress and entered into force on December 15, 1791. For the first time at the national level the legal status of a US citizen was uniformly defined, the spheres of federal oversight of civil rights and liberties were outlined, and these rights were also, for the first time in the history of constitutional legislation, constructed as prohibitions and restrictions imposed primarily on the legislative bodies themselves.
