U.S. Government Explained Ep. 03 - The Bill of Rights: Protecting Freedoms

When the U.S. Constitution was first written, many Americans worried it gave too much power to the new federal government. The solution? The Bill of Rights — ten powerful amendments that protect individual freedoms and limit government control.

In this episode, Freya explores how and why the Bill of Rights was created, what each amendment means, and how these rights continue to shape life in the United States today. From freedom of speech to the right to a fair trial, these protections are the foundation of American democracy — and they remain just as vital, and debated, as ever.

Listen to understand the story behind America’s most famous rights — and why they were never meant to be taken for granted.
