The Bill of Rights, which is also known as the English Bill of Rights, was an Act of the Parliament of England (and Wales) that deals with constitutional matters and sets out specific basic civil rights. It received the Royal Assent on 16 December 1689 and is a restatement in statutory form of the Declaration of Right presented by the Convention Parliament to William III and Mary II in February 1689, inviting them to become joint sovereigns of England (including Wales). The Bill of Rights lays down limits on the powers of the monarch and sets out the rights of Parliament, including the requirement for regular parliaments, free elections, and freedom of speech in Parliament (The Wales and Berwick Act was repealed in 1967, although the statutory definition of "England" it created is preserved for acts passed prior to its repeal. Since the Act's repeal what was referred to as "England" is now "England and Wales")
The Declaration declares the colonies free from the rule of the King and sets out why the colonies should leave the king. The Bill of Rights lists 10 rights that people have. Most of the rights listed come from the experiences before the revolution of dealing with a king and absolute rule.
No, they are not. The Constitution is the main document that sets up the workings of the federal government. The Bill of Rights is an adjunct to the Constitution that makes clear that the federal government is either prohibited from restricting or mandated to provide certain rights to individuals and to states. Another distinguishing feature is that the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were ratified at different times therefore for a brief period of time, the Constitution existed without the Bill of Rights. The Constitution was ratified by three fourths of the states on June 21, 1788. The Bill of Rights was ratified by three fourths of the states on December 15, 1791. The only sense in which they may be considered the same thing is that the Constitution cannot be read without taking into account the Bill of Rights, which represent changes to the Constitution. They are separate parts of a single working document.
James Madison wrote the Bill of Rights. He authored twelve amendments, however, only ten were agreed upon. The term for the delegates involved with creating the US Constitution are normally called the Framers, however, many of them were also involved in the war for independence, so with that in mind, the two sets of people can be called founding fathers as well as framers.
For the most part, Roman law was based on the idea of personal rights. The emphasis here is personal rights, not universal rights. Remember that ancient Rome was a class structured society and the classes had different sets of conduct or "rights".
The Bill of Rights sets limits- it tells what the government is NOT allowed to do.

The branch of legislative is the branch that makes the laws. The one that protects rights and freedoms of the citizens aren't in one of the branches, but it is called the Bill of Rights. (It has nothing to do with money)
It protects our unalienable rights as a citizen, because every person has privileges (rights) that cannot be taken away, and those rights help us get through society and the rest of our life. If we didn't have the bill of rights, it would be an unsafe, unfair, and unjust country to live in (referring to the United States).
