2008 civics test · Question 5 of 100 · Principles of American Government
What do we call the first ten amendments to the Constitution?
In Chinese 宪法的前十条修正案叫什么？
Official answer
- the Bill of Rights《权利法案》
Why this is the answer
The first ten amendments to the Constitution are called the Bill of Rights. They were added soon after the Constitution was adopted because many people wanted clear written protections for individual freedoms. They protect rights such as freedom of speech and religion and limit what the federal government can do to people.
