Question

How does the bill of rights protect citizens rights today from the government?

Answer 1

Well at on time it did. These days everything is all messed up. Who really knows. We have the patriot act and a few other laws like that.  

The only thing we can do is hope these days. I am going to vote for Ron Paul. He knows what it is to love America.

Answer 2

There was a High School Senior that ran afoul of the F.B.I.  during a school project about The Bill Of Rights.

This may answer your question. The F.B.I.  came to investigate the student because the student had put a marker through a red hole in the fore head of Bush and made use of him for the Bill Of Rights Project.
