Answer:

The correct answer is B. The Bill of Rights defines the basic rights afforded to all American citizens.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Bill of Rights of the United States is the collective name given to the first ten amendments of the Constitution of the United States approved on December 15, 1791.

These amendments guarantee a series of personal freedoms, limit the power of the government in judicial processes and others; and some faculties are reserved for the states and the people. Originally the modifications applied only to the federal government, however, most were subsequently applied to the government of each state through the Fourteenth Amendment through a process known as incorporation.
