Why is the bill of rights important?

Imagine having no rights. The government tells you what you can or can't say. You can't choose your religion. The government controls what newspapers and magazines print. If you complain, you get thrown into jail. You could be locked up for years without ever getting a trial. Thanks to the Bill of Rights, Americans don't have to worry about loosing their rights.
