The answer is: Bill of Rights.

Explanation for each option:

  • Declaration of Independents: This is incorrect. The correct term is "Declaration of Independence," which is a separate document declaring the American colonies' independence from British rule in 1776.

  • Preamble: This is incorrect. The Preamble is the introductory statement to the United States Constitution, outlining the general purposes and guiding principles of the document.

  • Bill of Rights: This is correct. The Bill of Rights refers to the first 10 amendments to the United States Constitution, which were ratified in 1791. These amendments guarantee essential rights and liberties, such as freedom of speech, religion, and the press, as well as protections against governmental abuses.

  • Articles of Confederation: This is incorrect. The Articles of Confederation was the first constitution of the United States, in effect from 1781 to 1789, before being replaced by the current Constitution. It established a weak central government and was eventually deemed ineffective, leading to the drafting of the current Constitution.
