Many democratic countries also choose to have a bill of rights to protect people against abuse of power. A bill of rights is a list of rights and freedoms guaranteed to all people in the country.
When a bill of rights becomes part of a country's constitution, the courts have the power to enforce these rights.
A bill of rights limits the power of government and may also impose duties on individuals and organizations.
