Preferred term

International Bill of Rights  

Definition

  • In the United States, the term Bill of Rights is usually assumed to reference the first ten amendments to the Constitution, which list certain fundamental rights that are the foundation of American society. However, internationally, there are many more documents that, collectively, provide even greater rights than the U.S. Bill of Rights.
