The Bill of Rights protects freedom of speech, press, religion, and assembly. It guarantees our right to keep and bear arms. It prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures. It guarantees due process in a court of law, a speedy hearing, and trial by jury. It prohibits excessive bail, fines and punishment. Most important, the Bill of Rights guarantees that rights not explicitlygranted to the government, are reserved to us as individuals.

When was same-sex marriage explicitly prohibited by law in Australia?

What freedom is NOT protected under the bill of rights?
Most natural rights that you can name are in the Bill of Rights. That Bill of Rights still exists today and continues to protect our rights, so it includes all the rights we have today.In fact, the Ninth Amendment specifically states that the Constitution, including the amendments, is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the rights of the people. It acknowledges that the people have many natural rights which are not explicitly mentioned and they are not lesser rights simply because they are not enumerated.
