United States Bill of Rights

I ran across an interesting website called Librivox, which has a large number of audio readings of public domain documents and books.  One of the documents that caught my attention was the Bill of Rights from our Constitution.

The Bill of Rights are the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution. They were introduced as a series of amendments in 1789 in the First United States Congress by James Madison. Ten of the amendments were ratified and became the Bill of Rights in 1791. These amendments limit the powers of the federal government, protecting the rights of all citizens, residents and visitors on United States territory. (Summary courtesy of Wikipedia)

You can read the Bill of Rights and other Amendments at the Good Politics Radio US Constitution Amendments page.

You can listen to and download the audio reading of the Bill of Rights here.  By the way, the reader has a very pleasant English accent, which you will enjoy.
