The Declaration of Independence - Represents and protects the rights for the citizens of the United Stated of America, life, liberty, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness.
The Bill of Rights - Constitutional amendments made to US constitution that deal with the issue connected to the human rights including issues such as freedom of religion, speech, and press.
These two documents differ because of several reasons: the year the were created, the laws they appoint, and were composed for different reasons. The two are similiar because of the role they take in our country. Both protect our rights as citizens, and ironically, Thomas Jefferson contributed his help to both of these.
