The Bill of Rights consist of the first ten amendments.
The legal reason is that Article 5 of the Constitution requires amendments to be ratified by 3/4 of the states either through their legislatures of ratifying conventions as Congress may direct. The Constitution itself when it was created had to be accepted by 3/4 of the states in order to become effective. This was to ensure that the new union would consist of a large number of states to be stable enough to survive as a union of states. Anything less would leave too many states unwilling to support the union if the federal government did something contrary to some state's interests. An amendment to the Constitution is the same as re-writing the contitution, therefore it was felt that the same type of super-majority should be required. Without this requirement, it is theoretically possible to change an agreement that had to be ratified by at least 3/4 by some smaller majority.
The legislative powers of the federal government are vested in Congress. They are empowered by the Constitution to make the laws.
One of the Supreme Court's most important responsibilities in the United States' tripartite government is ensuring that statutes and policies conform with the intent of the Constitution. This is done through both case law, where the Court evaluates how established and accepted laws are applied by the lower courts, and by "judicial review," where challenged Congressional legislation is evaluated to ensure the new laws comply with constitutional standards, and that Congress didn't overstep its authority by enacting legislation over areas that fall outside its jurisdiction.In many cases, the Articles and Amendments of the Constitution consist of a set of principles, rather than detailed instructions. Therefore, the Supreme Court is required to interpret how the principles are intended to be used. The interpretations are influenced by individual justices' theoretical beliefs about whether the document is intended to be applied literally, as written, or whether the Constitution is a living document that is meant to evolve as society changes; their ideological beliefs about who the Framers intended to protect or allocate privileges and powers in a given situation; precedents set on similar issues by earlier Supreme Court cases; and the sociopolitical context in which the statutes were written, among other things. Not only do these views vary from justice-to-justice, but they change from Court-to-Court over time, depending on whether the Court has more conservatives or progressives; the majority attitude toward judicial activism, as opposed to judicial restraint; and, again, the sociopolitical context of the era in which the Court sits, among other things.On occasion, the rulings are also influenced by new Amendments adopted by Congress and the States that need to be factored into the decision-making process, which may alter how earlier Articles and Amendments are viewed.The Supreme Court, as head of the Judicial branch of government, is the only body empowered with the final authority to decide how the Constitution should be applied. Therefore, their interpretation, even if contradictory to earlier interpretations or other people's beliefs, is the final determinant of constitutional law."The Constitution means what the Supreme Court says it means," indicates the meaning of the document isn't fixed, but changing, and is based solely on Supreme Court opinion.
the Constitution says , treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
the preamble, seven articles and 27 amendments (which include the Bill of Rights)
No. The Preamble of the Constitution is: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence (sic), promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." The Seven Articles are separate from this text.

They both have Legislative, Executive, Judicial, and Amendments. Florida's constitution is very similar to the US constitution. They both have articles, and they also have similar structures (structure) and rights! Both the Florida and US constitutions acknowledge the people as the source of all government power. They both state that all people are equal before the law. The ties between the US and Florida constitutions are so close that the Florida constitution adjusts several standards from the US constitution. Both the Florida legislature and the US Congress are bicameral! They are undoubtfully very similar! The US president and the Florida governor are chief executives who serve as commanders in chief of their armed forces! They are also assisted by the cabinet, hold veto power, and have the right to pardon. Each executive oversees a large number of departments. Both judicial branches have several levels. The Florida and US Constitution have a Supreme Court, appellate court, and trial courts. Because the U.S. Constitution served as a guideline, many state constitutions look very similar to the national constitution, including the Florida Constitution. The U.S. and Florida constitutions both have a preamble (an introduction that states the purpose and goals of government).

Articles like "a" or "an" are considered the shortest parts of speech, as they consist of only one letter.
One major cause was the high taxes. King George would sell the right to collect taxes. The tax collectors would add their commission, which would consist of whatever they wanted to add. Still, it was more complicated. The restrictions on congress in the constitution and the issues faced in the Bill of Rights, or the first 10 amendments of the constitution all dealt with abuses England had committed in America before the Revolutionary War. Read the Constitution and Bill of rights for your answer.
