Bill Of Rights The Bill of Rights originates from 13th century England when King John attempted to curb baron dominancy over the people of the colonies. The Bill of Rights at the time protected the people from exploitations through due process and the ruler of the land. When the English settlers came to America they formulated the Bill of Rights which contained 10 Amendments outlining the rights of the people over the government as well as the government’s freedom to rule over its people. The purpose had been to form a clear definition of rights so that the people are more aware of their social status.
